Suspected PayPal Hackers Seek Deal To Stay Out Of Prison
Scripps Employees Called 'Hackers' For Exposing Massive Security Flaw
Apple TV delayed in the UK due to LoveFilm deal?
What with Netflix streaming available on the Apple TV in the US, it seems plausible to us that Apple might be pursuing a similar deal with its UK equivalent, LoveFilm. Whether LoveFilm's relatively new instant streaming is up to the job is another story, but considering that the UK Apple TV doesn't have the 99c TV rental deal that the US version has (being limited to purchases only), getting some sort of content rental on the device would really bolster the Apple TV lineup in the UK. Color this one as pure rumor for now -- Apple retail employees rarely have insider info. For all our UK readers out there, we hope this one turns out to be true.

Well obviously Apple needs to get LoveFilm on-board as otherwise there is nothing to show on it!
Netflix doesn't allow it to be used in the UK.

Well I have a tracking number and invoice from apple that says my apple TV will be delivered by TNT on Monday to me in Berks, So guess that rumour is dead.

I was expecting to see them last week so I guess in my opinion they were already delayed. Then again, there's no reason they can't push out Lovefilm in an update or app ;)
Let us know what your experience of the UK version of Apple TV is. I'm afraid without something like this, it's going to be an attractive, but expensive box that collects dust under your TV.

Hi
My AppleTV was delivered today. Its too expensive to rent movies on it, i found this article by searching for lovefilm on appletv I really hope it does happen as its kinder pointless having this new £100 box that just looks cool and streams from my mac.
I also have the remote app on the iPad and iPhone 4 which is a couple of seconds delayed sending commands to apple TV (v2).
Lets hope LoveFilm and AppleTV partner!
if anyone has any updates please do reply to this thread!
