Product reviewsApple TV (2nd Generation) 8GB Media Streamer - A1378

Functions good set up difficult.

Works well as screen mirroring good quality pictures and net flicks runs well. I had great difficulty trying to set it up entering correct Apple ID and password. Eventually got help from techno savvy person and you need to turn off all Apple devices except one and when the notifications flashes up on the screen press “Allow“ and record the six digit code. This has to be entered after your second attempt to enter ID in the same window as your password continuous with it. The remote and on screen keypad make this difficult procedure especially for elderly ones. However want set up it is very useful and the Ramult is adequate for normal use and light to handle.Read full review...

Jailbroken apple tv

This particular apple tv 2 was jailbroken, and it took quite a long time to set it up correctly. It wouldn't mirror my mac until I figured out what the problem was. Once I had completely restored it to factory settings, it worked fine.Read full review...

iCloud log in very difficult

After a lot of research, I realised that due to 2 factor authentication the 6 digit code needs to be entered after your password.
However, due the 30 second expiration time of the code. I had to type the password and use the generate verification code from password settings on iPhone. Also, I had to log into home sharing before I could log into iCloud. Logging into iCloud first would never work.
The remote control is a bit of a pain in the arse when it comes to entering in username / password. I found it easier to to Apple TV app from App Store.Read full review...

Love the free film streaming of all the latest releases

I bought this Apple 2nd generation with the codes cracked, I can stream all the latest movies and television shows as and when I want, all for free with no monthly fees and it will save me a fortune, I have looked for the sky sports which they say you can get but find it quite difficult to find the streams that I want to watch, which is rather annoying but over all it´s great value for money and like most people we all say there´s nothing worthwhile to watch tonight, well there is know I have seen Django, Flight, skyfall and loads of other good films and can recommend all these films, great product would recommend everyone to get one and enjoy.....Read full review...

Dodgy item

Disappointed with the item. I have now open an account with Amazon for future purchase. The item doesn’t work properly and very difficult to comment due to changes to the firmware. Bought the remote from Apple since the item never came with a remote. This is my first bad deal on EBay. Very skeptical in using EBay anymore.Read full review...

Apple TV 2nd Generation

Apple TV 2nd Gen is beginning to show its age but if you want a device to mirror your iPad or Mac to your tv it works fine.
You can watch Apple TV + without any problem.
When setting up if you have 2 phase authorisation it can be a little tricky because the code sent to you only last a very short time and will keep telling you you have put in the wrong password.
You need to go to iCloud on your account and request a new code after typing in your password then all you need to do is put this in the same bar as your password and it should work.
Once it is running it is slower than the newer versions but it works well.
Overall not a bad piece of kitRead full review...

Very good

It came boxed with instructions and looked new. Far superior to the one I bought previously and duly returned. Worth five stars but these days nothing is perfect .
