7 hours to download a show
My reactions to the new ATV are mixed!
It's beautiful, it's small, and it has a pleasing to the eye interface. I think that the idea of 8000 movies at my fingertips is a very good idea indeed.
Now, if only it didn't take 3 hours to download a 2 hr. HD movie!
I am on Shaw 'Lightning' Fast internet in Winnipeg, MB. We plugged it in, in the evening, and eagerly tried to watch some trailers. Time ticked by slowly. NARNIA took 5 minutes to download a 2 minute trailer. We tried to rent/download a movie. No luck! It said it would take 3 hours. We ended up going to bed.
The next morning...guess what! Instant, fast streaming video. It must be that our Shaw internet cable is too congested in the evening to support HD streaming movies
Now, I know that it's not APPLE'S fault. But do I keep the darned thing if I don't have access to adequate internet speeds?
