[QUOTE="Texaport, post: 1382530, member: 243040"] [b]ATV2 + Laptop Airplay[/b] I would recommend the Apple TV over the Roku for only one reason, with the upcoming version of OSX, Mountain Lion, you will be able to Mirror your laptop to your HDTV (you could also use 3rd party software like Air Parrot), and in doing so, should be able to open up a whole 'nother set of video websites and services for use in combination with your AppleTV. And if you have a Media Library already setup, utilizing Home Sharing would be beneficial as well. Anyway, the ATV has my vote, the edge over the Roku coming from the upcoming Mirroring Function.
