Malaysia will most probably not be in the list of country to get Apple TV. However, if I've got friends who have Netflix service in the state and willing to share the account, will it be possible to use Apple TV in Malaysia. If for IP detection, can we use US vpn for this?

Bro string, I thought Hulu Plus got HD? is it because of the internet connection?

I think for itunes rental AppleTV will download the movie first and que when it's ready to play.

The upcoming features, stream from ipad/iphone, is also neat.

But on 2nd thought, in Malaysia there are a lot of cheap media player that can do most of what AppleTV can.

Are we talking about Unifi because you guys keep mentioning Premium ISP and considering TMNet as premium isp might offend somebody tongue.gif

I was thinking pairing Apple TV and Unifi+VPN. Anyone had any experience with Unifi+VPN with streaming device?

I'm with string on the interface. I bought Asus Oplay earlier this year thinking that watching movies and tv series without turning on the computer(which double as htpc) would a bless.

I was wrong. Asus interface is not smooth on its transition and there is a slight delay for each press of a button on the remote. You can't rename the files, and video preview sometimes take 2-10 second to load. At last, I sold it to my brother and back to desktop with XBMC, which is much better in term of interface. Even windows 7 interface is much more fulfilling to navigate.

99$ for fluid, apple like interface is pretty awesome. I already use a netbook as my download box and it's on 24/7, so no problem loading up itunes all the time.

How about country of launch? When I wrote the first post I'm not so sure about its 'un'availability in Malaysia. Will SG get it?
