Apple TV: Lame?
I’m beginning to think so.
Apple, why can’t I put what I want on my Apple TV, like I can on my iPod (well, not my Shuffle)? Why can’t I use it to store my media, like I would a hard drive? Why can’t I plug an external hard drive into my Apple TV to up my storage? Why can’t I play Netflix? Why can’t I play Hulu? I know you said it was a “hobby,” but if you sell a product, you should listen to what people want. Fix it, Apple.
And, while we’re at it: why is iTunes so stupid? Why can’t I decide to store music on one hard drive, movies on another, TV on a third? And why — God, why?! — does iTunes erase my entire iPod Shuffle whenever I plug it in to the computer? Do you know how much this irritates me? Fix it, Apple.
I know: some of these restrictions are undoubtedly not your fault. If this is the case, explain yourself, Apple. Why can’t I use my old iPod as storage for my music? I can? Well, what if I want to copy a song off of it to my new iPhone? No? Why the hell not? Fix it, Apple.
I am so tired of all my digital products coming to me broken. Apple, you should have enough clout to be able to begin changing some of these restrictions. TiVo, now’s your chance: you’ve already landed Netflix (though I have yet to see it)l when are you gonna get Hulu? Also, when will you allow me to put my own content on my TiVo? I know you have desktop software, but it’s even lamer than iTunes, and much more restrictive.
We are not all criminals, guys. Stop treating us like we are.
