Got an AppleTV the other day. Pretty impressed with it on the whole. In the process of ripping a good portion of my TV series from DVD to an AppleTV compatible format. Will probably rip most or all of the TV stuff over time, except for the stuff lacking subtitles.
Far as the iTunes movie and TV selections go, I’m not really that impressed. At least the movies section lets you search for all 90+ movies that have captions. If universal captions appear, or if they merely caption the shows/movies I’m interested in, I may purchase/rent, but otherwise, no sale.
I have not considered hacking the AppleTV all that seriously so far. I can see the virtue of doing so, but, so long as I am hearing impaired and require subtitles/captions, I don’t see the need to mess with it unless I decide I must have real closed caption support.
Gets a vote of support from me overall.
