This is one of the best kept secrets of Apple, and it's a shame. I'm a technology geek like the best of them. I bought this product when it first came on the market with the 40 GB. I liked what it could do then. It was able to take the video from my computer iTunes, and play it on a set. Then, Apple developed the new software for it, it downloaded for free, and suddenly, it's an instant Netflix, joining to the iTunes store. If ever I miss a show, it's right there! The movies download and start playing instantly. It plays the music on my iTunes, YouTube searches, and my own video. Keep in mind, I still have the original 40gb! I've never had a problem, and just love it. Cannot recommend this enough, and no one I have recommended it to has a negative thing to say about it.
