Does anybody have Apple TV?

I think I want to get it for DH for Christmas but I want to make sure that it can stream netflix movies?

We normally don't exchange presents but he's been so patient with me these last couple of months. My moms passing was much harder on me than I ever thought it was going to be and I was pretty much in a fog for over a month. He did 90% of everything around the house so I want to reward him with something.

    I do not have Apple TV, but on netflix's website, it has Apple TV as one of the "other players" that is compatible.

    Apple TV can definitely stream Netflix, but it doesn't always work and we get "error" messages quite a bit.  Apple will say it's Netflix and Netflix will tell you it's Apple.  Personally, I think it's a Netflix issue because our streaming on the iPad is just as spotty but we won't get the same error messages (it just won't play the video or will just play a second or two and then continue loading).  All in, I would say that Apple TV is worth it.  We actually cancelled our Netflix DVD subscription because it was cheaper for us to watch movies through Apple TV.

    We have Apple Tv and love it! We stream movies and music all the time. Instead of doing demand we now rent the movies from Apple. It's fast and easy.

    We love it too!  Another great use is to stream photos onto your TV from your computer so you can watch them all day ;-)

    My parents have it (mom works for an Apple store) and they love it!  I don't remember if this comes with it, but with airplay, you can use your ipad or iphone to control the Apple TV.

    I also think the streaming issue is a Netflix problem.  We stream through our XBOX and the IL's use their Wii - and both of these systems have occasional streaming problems as well.
