Apple TV Overheating Problems: Shame on Apple (Part 1 of 2)
On this rumor filled eve of things to come concerning Apple TV, I am going to publicly say, "Shame on Apple" for the heating problems plaguing my existing Apple TV.
The earliest production Apple TVs have a serious overheating problem. They ran hot under the 1.x software, but not enough to push it over the edge. But with certainly, the latest software (Take 3) overheats my Apple TV causing big blocky artifacts to appear in movie playback in the good case, and complete video card freezing requiring a reboot in the bad case.
This blog has photos of the problem which are similar to mine and tries to measure the temperature.
