After a long delay, I have finally found the time to set up my AV system again. Various parts have been on a long odyssey of being loaned to people and, in some cases, standing unused for a few months since they were returned.
One component of my system is an Apple TV. I think this is an awesome piece of equipment, although it is one of those things that you actually need to own before you understand how useful it is. I use mine primarily as means to store my music, which I can then play through the rest of my AV system independently of my MacBook. As long as iTunes syncs with Apple TV, everything is good.
It has been a while since I fired the old Apple TV up and I found that there was a significant software update for the device, which I installed. While I was playing with the new software, I noticed the Internet Radio menu and decided to see how well that worked.
The first channel that I selected was ABC Stars 80s, and the song that they happened to be playing when I turned it on was Rick Astley’s Never Goinna to Give You Up. Well done Apple! I have been rickrolled most impressively. Its nice to know that someone still cares.
