New Apple TV Billboards Start Popping Up in U.S. CitiesApple has launched (
via AppleInsider) a brand new outdoor ad campaign for the Apple TV a week after debuting its
first TV commercials for the new set-top box. The new ads feature a variation of the SMPTE color bars, a television test pattern, as a backdrop to the simple Apple TV logo.

The color bars are also featured in the TV ads, dispersing in different ways as the ad showcases its apps or games. Thus far, the billboards have been spotted in Los Angeles,
Boston,
New York,
San Francisco,
Beverly Hills and
Hollywood.
The ads appear to have gone up in the last 24 hours, with Instagram user
Courtney Cerruti noting that she saw workers tugging the image into place and that they went up "in unison." Additionally, every current picture of the new billboards have appeared within the last 11 hours or so. The ads also come in different formats, with some ads in a vertical orientation on buildings and others in a more traditional
horizontal format.
