They ’ve finagle to make the assure 100 HD moving-picture show mark ( though not 100 HD movies with 5.1 Surround Sound , as also promised ) , however . Last time I calculate , the Store , when access from iTunes , offeredless than 500 rentals(483 , when you apply iTunes ’ Power Search characteristic ) .
Rather than gaze at my Apple TV ’s screen recoverer waiting for more movies to appear , I browsed late tv set Show releases and was proud of to discover two British drollery series from the late - ish 1960s featuring extremity ofMonty Python . The first , Do Not correct Your Setincludes Eric Idle , Terry Jones , Michael Palin , David Jason , and the legendaryBonzo Dog Doo Dah Band . The second , At Last the 1948 Showfeatures John Cleese , Graham Chapman , Marty Feldman(“Igor ” fromYoung Frankenstein ) , andTim Brooke - Taylor .
