    Boy am I happy! Yes I am, I have looked for the items, one in particular for years. I was so thrilled to see it and the others on ebay. The items came right on time and in perfect condition. They were well packaged though this item was hard to package. They were just as show and described and well worth the very reasonable price. Very honest and good seller.

    1st gen Apple TV

    I purchased the first GEN Apple TV because of the fact that it has a hard drive that I can hack. For my particular set up it works, I am off grid and it makes it easier to perform functions I would like to do.

  • Most critical review

    Can’t log into Apple ID

    Due to current Apple requirements of two factor identification it is impossible to activate this device with an Apple ID. Can be hacked and new operating system be loaded on it if you’re adventurous. I should’ve researched this before purchasing. It would be awesome if it wasn’t locked out.

  • Works fine; that's all that matters!

    Needed it to replace my original unit that is still working, but the hard drive is screaming! I loaded this replacement and it works fine. Wish Apple would have continued putting a hard drive in the new models.

  • Great product

    Old Apple TV is in my opiniom better buy than new ones....especialy the version with 160GB.

  • The Price WAS Right!

    I bought this to disassemble and tweak, i. e. (solid state hard drive and reinstall original iOS). Unit tends to overheat. This is due to poor design. Unit has plenty of ventilation but it is covered by rubber on the bottom. Hint: Remove rubber and dissolve the adhesive and install 4 rubber stick-on feet.
