Comparing the AppleTV to other stuff

Gizmodo has a rather appropriately titled "Apples and Oranges" article comparing the AppleTV with the TiVo Series3. Sure, the AppleTV's not a PVR, but both boxes let you watch high definition TV, play music, and view pictures.

So who wins? Umm... nobody. It's apples and oranges, remember? Basically, neither does a great job of displaying downloaded HD video content. TiVo records and plays high definition TV, while Gizmodo prefers the AppleTV when it comes to photo and music playback.

eHomeUpgrade, on the other hand decided to compare apples to apples today, and has a nice chart comparing the AppleTV to the Mvix MX-760 media streamer. While this isn't a hands-on review, it's still worth taking a look. The MX-760 features upgradeable storage, support for many more audio and video codecs, and higher resolution video.
