Just a feedback.. Got my ATV3 2 days ago. Was actually looking forward to it and then.
1.
ATV high Profile 4.0 limit is REALATV really cannot handle mkvs that are in high profile 4.1 that has been encoded from BD master/50gb etc.. It always hits a jag when the bitrates exceed the 25mbps spec on 4.0. So apple wasnt kidding on this.
Btw those mkv's are converted back to m4v,mp4 container with just the encoding done on the audio to AAC 160kbps Stereo and Dolby Digital 5.1 at 384kbps as per apple spec. Even optimized the mp4's so all the handlers are organized etc which makes it stream, load faster etc.
3. Pic Quality.The prob is this. Downloaded two movies from Itunes at 1080p. Compared it with my own/downloaded rip of a 720p and a 1080p version of that two movies. Basically the detail on the 1080p version of itunes is comparable with those 720p's downloaded bitrate. So thats like a no no. Can already tell the difference on my 47 inch LM9600. So what about those of u using 55 inches etc. TrueMotion also shows a big difference
Its like 2 steps down from playing back a pure blue ray but a step better than dvd.
Conclusion.So kindda pissed off lol. Like y couldnt they just made the ATV3 with the dual core A5 on the Ipad 2. It would have been perfect.
As for now seems using Ipad 2 as a streaming devices seems better but just 3 times at the price.
ATV seems to be only good for TV serials for me atm.
Again just a feedback after a 14 hours of testing on it trying to get a reasonable amount of home theater experience
btw i personally can share one thing about unifi etc.. those with 10-20mb line. Assuming ure not a 24 hours in the house guy. Lol after a month or two u wont have much things to download lol. Comes to a point where u wont mind even 10mb line as whats the difference in 8gb in 2 hours instead of 1 hour. So with this again i am pointing out on the bitrate issue with ATV3

i helped my friend to update his atv2 before jb. so far no complaint from him... as for my own, i still stayed at 5.0.1. Lazy to update... if u are using atv3, no harm updating to get latest fw

Added on July 10, 2012, 11:24 pm5ghz? whats ur internet speed? if unifi should be no buffering.. unless the line is very bad...

I think he meant from Homesharing. U have a buffer. I think its around 200-300mb Approximate
