	[* black] Looking closely it appears that there is another difference from the Apple TV 2nd Generation, two antennae!
	[* black] While it is unclear where the two antennae terminate, we suspect Apple added the second antenna to address some complaints range and signal strength in the previous model.
-	[* black] According to ~~the~~ Broadcom, the [link\|http://www.broadcom.com/products/Wireless-LAN/802.11-Wireless-LAN-Solutions/BCM4330\|BCM4330] ~~features~~ a single-band 2.4 GHz 802.11 b/g/n (single shared 2.4 GHz antenna for Bluetooth and WLAN) or a dual-band 2.4 GHz and ~~5Ghz~~ 802.11 a/b/g/n antenna.
-	[* black] ~~By further examining the antenna traces on the board, it seems highly likely~~ that ~~the BCM4330 on the~~ Apple TV ~~3rd Generation features~~ a ~~dual-band~~ antenna.
+	[* black] According to Broadcom, the [link\|http://www.broadcom.com/products/Wireless-LAN/802.11-Wireless-LAN-Solutions/BCM4330\|BCM4330] can either function with a single-band 2.4 GHz 802.11 b/g/n (single shared 2.4 GHz antenna for Bluetooth and WLAN) or a dual-band 2.4 GHz and 5GHz 802.11 a/b/g/n antenna.
+	[* black] We're suspecting that this Apple TV is preserving the 2.4GHz shared antenna, but has also added a second antenna for 5 GHz connectivity.
