Got an AppleTV? Check out AppleTVSource.com!
Benjamin J. Higginbotham
The best thing about the AppleTV is that it's a High Definition iTunes extender.  Apple was smart enough to forgo the older EDTV/SDTV standards and went with 720p/24 HDTV.  The bad thing is that it's really hard to find HD content in the iTunes Store.  Sure you can get your 480p EDTV movies and TV episodes, but why can't I get HD?  There are some HDTV podcasts but they are very hard to sort and sift through to get to the 720p versions.

Until now.

AppleTVSource.com offers a list of HD podcasts broken down by category that are specifically designed to work on your AppleTV.  No longer will you have to download a videocast which was designed for an iPod but is now playing back on your beautiful HDTV (yuck)!  There are over 100 channels to choose from including the Technology Evangelist 720p HD videocast.

If you don't have an AppleTV I would highly suggest it.  While the AppleTV is missing a few features I would like to see, all in all it's a great product that can change your TV viewing experience.  AppleTVSource.com just makes the AppleTV experience so much nicer.

This is Luck from AppleTVSource.com.

Wow, Benjamin, you made me grin from ear to ear. Thank you for recommending my site. I am honored. I will print this article and post it on the wall in my office. Really!

About the HD podcast list, I started out of frustration, actually. I had this supposedly HD-only Apple TV but I couldn't get any HD content to watch. Then I saw RumorGirls podcast in HD and I thought there must be others out there. So 5 months later, I now have over 100 podcasts listed. Very proud of that. Still on a hunt for more. Keep checking.

I also run AppleTVHacks.net. There are a lot goodies there too in case you like modding the Apple TV. I didn't start the site. I was just helping out a friend. But now, I pretty much run it.

Thanks again.
