Hey AppleTV users. Do all iOS apps work on the ATV? - spamlet Jul 11, 06:08 10
- I don't see how that could work, iOS apps require a touch screen anyway - Guigue Jul 11, 06:37
- No iOS apps on AppleTV. It's not that kind of device. It supports various services (Vudu is not one of them) but they are baked into the box -- nm - oblique Jul 11, 06:15 8
  - it can be jailbroken, though, right? (I'm selling my ATV 2.1 on ebay right now. I think they're more easily jailbroken; it's over $100 now.) -- nm - amanda Jul 11, 06:19
  - Now I remember why I didn't look at it before, thanks. - spamlet Jul 11, 06:17 6
    - The two devices I have that do Vudu are my TV and the Xbox. The Xbox has support now for just about everything the Roku has -- nm - oblique Jul 11, 06:19 5
      - Yeah, we have the XBox on the main tv, this is one of the other tvs. - spamlet Jul 11, 06:20 4
        
        You might also look at the WD Live. I have a friend who has one and it's a pretty decent media player that also supports Vudu. Other options - oblique Jul 11, 06:23 3
        
        We're skipping the whole BR generation but I will look at the WD Live. -- nm - spamlet Jul 11, 06:29 2
        
        Another thought is some of the new Google TV devices about to hit the streets - oblique Jul 11, 06:34 1
        
        Really, I just want Vudu and Netflix and I think that the WD Live box might be the winner. - spamlet Jul 11, 06:35
