[QUOTE="Deckyon, post: 1391365, member: 197651"] Ok, I am using most of the proposed solutions already. 1. MacMini - iTunes + Airplay serves all my media to any device that supports it 2. Apple TV2 in my bedroom on a 720pHD TV - streams in the content from the online providers as well as my entire iTunes library from the MacMini 3. Apple TV3 - putting the full 1080 HD into my main television (65" mamoth) Everything starts from the MacMini - I love it, it is the perfect media server for an apple-based household. That was the best decision I made when looking for the home theater solution that would offer me the ability to play all my content in any room in my house. I have 2.3 TB of media on an external drive hooked up to the MacMini. I sync my iPhone and iPad wirelessly to iTunes on the Mini and the stuff just works. If you are looking for a great solution, I highly recommend a MacMini with Apple TVs on the rest of your televisions. BTW, within an hour of turning on the Mini for the first time, I was streaming content to all my devices. It took longer to get the iTunes library to copy from my old drive to the new one than it did to set the whole house up. [/QUOTE]
