Amazon Unbox = No Apple TV from Amazon? You've got to wonder if Amazon's Unbox + Tivo product is motivating Amazon from selling Apple TV on their website?

I've asked the same thing myself. I have both formats (apple & amazon). I wish I can consolidate it with one software download, be it itunes or amazon unbox but I don't think this will ever happen.

All I have are questions, burt apparently nobody knows nothing because even questions from 2007. Now what?

Top Hat, I'm having the same experience you did. My HDTV was supposed to be delivered tomorrow. Even tho the Amazon product page says the item will be delivered via White Glove, the trucking company said it will not. I've spent the past 90 minutes on the phone, being passed from Adorama (the seller) to Amazon to the trucking company back to Adorama back to Amazon back to the trucking company. It turns out that the product page is misleading. It's only when you buy your TV from Amazon.com that you can get the WG service. BUT, here's the tricky part. You can't just add the item to your cart and go through checkout. You have to click on the list that says "18 New and Used," or whatever the number is. Then you have to SELECT amazon.com as the seller. Isn't it nice that this isn't mentioned ANYWHERE on the product page? I couldn't find anything in the Help section, either. So, I've cancelled my order with Adorama so I can place the order directly from Amazon.com, thus making sure I get the White Glove service. What a PIA!!!

I'm not talking about Apple TV. Please reread the links. This will be a standalone HDTV with apple branded hardware and software. It won't be 2-4 years out or they'll lose the market. They have a dedicated team(s) working on it. Too many additional links to post. Of course no one can tell you exactly when it will come to market but 2-4 years? Highly unlikely.

I have access to Uverse DVR Uverse OnDemand 'straming' Netflix 'hard copy' and 'streaming'Apple Store via AppleTV 'streaming' iTunes via AppleTV 'ripped' and 'streaming' My very nice local library 'hard copy'with all these ways to get 'content' here I stand looking at the Roku because the Amazon On Demand store it the best of them all and the only place to find certian content. As a rough, unaudited guess, I would say about 30% of Netflix's 'in the mail' content is available for streaming. Uverse OnDemand has maybe 300 movies to choose from. Apple Store is OK but I still see some stuff in Amazon that I cant find on Apple.

Not working on my set, so I must have the funky firmware version. But I can still get the Amazon content on this set via my old Roku. The box shows Amazon icon, the TV remote has an Amazon button, the Smart TV Menu at the bottom of the screen has an Amazon selection, but the button sends you to a black screen and selecting the icon from the on-screen menu results in a message that Amazon content is not currently available but that they are working on it. I'm sure I could take it back to Costco, but it is a great TV otherwise, and I have the Roku workaround.

No, This is a Tivo device. It works with Tivo hardware. Apple TV needs to be connected to a network in order to work.

See the odd thing is that Amazon has two different kinds of delivery - Amazon Instant Video and Amazon Prime Instant Video are TWO DIFFERENT things.I can get "Amazon Instant Video" on my Tivo HD, but I cannot get the Amazon Prime Instant Video on my Tivo HD. This was a surprise to me. I signed up for Prime, could not get the stream and I actually talked on the phone to a live person who said 'no, the Amazon Prime Instant Video will not stream to a Tivo HD". Netflix works just fine.So before I would order this, I'd like to know that it will do the PRIME Instant Video.

My understanding (based on some of the Squeezebox forums) is that Amazon would have to provide APIs for the streaming service. I doubt they would do this since it would compete with Amazon products (even though there hasn't been a squeezebox product released in a while). It's too bad they don't... I would probably sign up with Prime if they did.

The apple TV is a small device to stream media, not a display. It's been around for years but wasn't very successful.An apple HDTV would be another story, but one analyst expecting it in 2-4 years doesn't make me very confident. It would be nice if they did enter the hdtv market!

Many wish we knew; it's more than likely the rumored 1tb expander that "will" be "blessed" by Tivo but who knows when? It's supposed to have a Tivo logo on the box so I'm guessing this will be the one. I've got it in my wish list for the second it's announced.

I don't know if we'll get an actual app being that Amazon has created their own format. I agree an app would be nice but I can live with it as long as I can access it.

When you asked this question, Amazon App wasn't AirPlay enabled. However, it now works via AirPlay so am responding here incase others have the same question

I have Apple TV but have not had trouble with it. When I added the TIVO wireless it didn't cause any problems with Apple TV but did solve the problem I was having getting the program schedule download from TIVO.

The Apple Website says as of 6pm today all new Imac's are preinstalled with Leopard. I wonder when Amazon will start doing the same.

Mine is up to date, but I see no app for Amazon. I don't need it because my Vizio TV does access Amazon.

I signed up for the one month trial of Prime (and VOD) a few days ago without even looking at what devices supported it. I figured there was no way Amazon would not be on the best streaming device available. When I got home and powered up my Boxee Box I was in shock that there was no Amazon App. How is this even possible? With Netflix screwing over millions of customers why hasnt Amazon stepped up to the plate?
