As of today, YouTube is now live on your AppleTV, a software update is available that will not only allow you to access the content of YouTube on your AppleTV, [...]
YouTube to be H.264 not Flash on AppleTV - iPod and iPhone to follow?
I actually mentioned this yesterday on the podcast, but since it’s making the rounds this morning, I thought I would write something up briefly about it…
The reason that YouTube isn’t available on the AppleTV immediately is because all of the video from YouTube is being transcoded to H.264. This is great news, since we’ll [...]

Vudu to take on AppleTV
