selenayI have a magic box.
Well, technically it's an Apple TV but I'm calling it my magic box.
I hooked it up and it worked! Like magic! It took me about two minutes to set up the wifi and my Netflix account. Magic!
Then I played a bit with my iPad, which magically knew it was there and gave me all the streaming to the magic box options where previously there had been none. My magic box is making me very, very happy.
It also has a great picture, even on Netflix which had a pretty bad picture through my Wii particularly on any dimly lit scenes. And now I can put Holby City from the BBC iPlayer on my big TV screen :-D
Also, I got to watch the Hobbit trailer in HD on my lovely big TV. My magic box is awesome. As is my Internet connection :-D
My cable box also had to be set up this weekend, as my supplier needed to upgrade me to a new box or I'd lose the signal next weekend after they do something upgradey to our lines. That box is not magic. That box took a large chunk of Sunday afternoon to set up. I like my magic box way better.
In conclusion: Apple puts magic in their things :-)
