You probably didn't even like the old Bose 901 Reference speakers (that may have been before your time) Back when they sort of made real speakers . . .

I did however do a quick search and came up with this:
http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/home-ente...-hd-231441.php
It might help and/or lead you to a site that can give you better answers.
Contrary to popular belief, the new "Apple TV" does NOT act as a dvr.
Sorry I can't be of more help.

BUT...if you decide to head this way to smack me a round a bit, bring your clubs, I could use a few lessons.

It sounded great back in the day, it still sounded great up to today. I never found anyting that sounded better enough to justify buying anything new.
I'm gonna miss my Nak -
and am dreading buying something new. All I want is 2 channel, I don't need any of this stinking 5.1 or 7.1 or 29.1 channel crap. Good old 2 channel is where it's at.
The kids at Shelly's (where I got my Maggies) knew of the TA-4A, and were not surprised at all to find it was still kicking and I had never got something new to replace it. They are recommending some S&K separates, but I'm thinking just a simple 2 channel entry level McIntosh.
Hey D . . . what do you think?

But, my ADC Equalizer and my Pioneer Expander stil live after 19 years, as does my Kenwood Double Cassette, and my 2 Pioneer tower speakers (140 lbs each). All Purchased at Sight & Sound, in Wurzburg Germany, in 1988. They've been moved, and stored a bunch of times over the last two decades, and they will still wake the nieghbors...
but, I'm so impressed now with the home theater sound, I decommissioned my big ol' stereo in 2005. It's serving in a reserve capacity now, but will be called back to active duty, should my JVC 5:1 take an early hiatus.

Maybe two years ago, I was in Frisco and happened to be in line behind Pilar Sanders (Deion Sander's wife). She was buying 2 (if not three) Bose Lifestyle systems. Those things were $2,999,99 each... (I'm pretty sure that was here. There's not too many drop-dead gorgeous, where in the world did you come from, brown-skinned women, in the Frisco area).
She had 2 or 3 of them.
She was about to drop 6K - 9K (Plus another $480 - $540 in taxes) on speakers, at the regular check out counter- just as easily as I would buy a Coke and a pack of M&M's.
Somehow we all got to talking at the register- she said "My husband is mad with me... He's sitting out in the car...". As a man, you know you have to be upset, to miss a chance to walk into Best Buy!
I like sound, but I'm not about to pay that much for it... I'll get the cheap stuff (Pioneer, Kenwood, JVC, Aiwa, etc..) and leave the expensive stuff (Carver, DBX, Nakamichi) to you rich folks... My house party will be just as live, and just as loud- just maybe not as clear.
But, with 2-3 glasses of Hennessey in you, you won't be hearing or seeing that well anyway!
