I'm going to the USA, and I am planning to buy an Apple TV there for use it in Europe.

Why I should do that?

Because the $99 Apple TV is sold in Europe for €120 ($170). Why pay almost the double for the same stuff?

OK, so the core question: is the internal Apple TV 2 PSU 110V/220V, or just 110V for units sold in the USA?

    I'm almost sure it will be fine. You will need to find another power cord though, but it's a standard 8-shaped connector. However I can't speak from experience.

  • A plug would serve you well, but that type of cable is also very cheap and easy to get by, if you are interested in reducing the clutter to a minimum.

  • Why travel to the US? Won't Amazon ship it to you? They just dropped the price: amazon.com/gp/product/…

  • Amazon wont ship to my place. "Shipping: Currently, item can be shipped only within the U.S." Anyway, I am traveling to the US for another reason than buying an Apple TV ;-)

This US Apple Store webpage says that the current Apple TV (2) has:

Power: Built-in 6-watt universal power supply

So yes, it looks like it will be fine in Europe.

Yes, according to Apple TV on Apple Online Store description page, the power is a Built-in 6-watt universal power supply.

But another important thing needs to check is to see if the power plug matches the socket in your country.

    The Apple TV 2 comes with a C7 coupler. For example I bought my ATV in the US, but am using it in Germany, I just replaced the cable with a german C7 cable.

I bought it and I confirm that the US version works fine with european 220V/50hz (fine print on the box says also 110V/220V compatibility)

Yes it works 100%. I used an old figure 8 cable, ran it straight from 220V 50Hz socket and the Apple TV worked great.
