WatchESPN and HBO Go added to Apple TV!

AppleTV

Apple TV is adding to its growing collection of apps! Today Apple announced that the WatchESPN app and HBO Go is being added to the lineup! The catch with both of these is that you have to have a subscription to an authorized provider (i.e. Comcast), and you have to have those channels in your package to be able to view the apps on Apple TV. For those that have those subscriptions, this will give an awesome additional feature with Apple TV. With WatchESPN you can watch live events, SportsCenter, and even over seasons sporting events like Cricket and Australian Rules Football. With HBO GO you get a great assortment of on demand content with HBO.

Here is the statement from Apple:

“HBO GO and WatchESPN are some of the most popular iOS apps and are sure to be huge hits on Apple TV,” said Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior vice president of Internet Software and Services. “We continue to offer Apple TV users great new programming options, combined with access to all of the incredible content they can purchase from the iTunes Store.”

Apple keeps improving on to the best home television streaming box!

WWDC: Airport Extreme & Time Capsule

by Shane Roberts

airports 2013

Lost in the juicy goodness of the announcements of iOS 7, Mavericks, and the new Mac Pro, was the announcement of the new AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule. Obviously this isn’t a huge surprise, because wireless routers just aren’t sexy headline grabbing products.

The announcement of these new wireless devices should at least grab a little bit of your attention, because that means your home WiFi speeds are going to get a lot better. For about six years now, 802.11N has been the standard wireless speed that you’ve seen on the market. That has now been surpassed by the new 802.11AC wireless signal. Why is this a big deal? That means that soon, your wireless speeds will be 3 times faster than before! Now this doesn’t automatically work for every wireless device out there. Your device has to have an 802.11ac card built into it to truly utilize the speed. The good news is that since the new AirPorts have this new wireless, and the new MacBook Airs have been announced with this new wireless, it appears most, if not all, future Apple releases will have the upgraded wireless in them as well.

The Time Capsule is available in two and three terabyte options, for your wireless backup needs!
