Apple TV Take 2 is an updated version of Apple TV that can directly access iTunes and stream movies from the iTunes rental store in DVD quality. The original software required a PC or Mac connection to purchase content.

Take 2 is a software upgrade over the originally installed software in the Apple TV device. The original software required a PC or Mac connection to access content. The new software requires no computer connection and also allows Flickr support, as well as YouTube functionality. The device is meant to be used as an alternative to DVD. The system operates in the same way as on-demand purchasing from cable and satellite.
