[QUOTE="XJ-linux, post: 1090810, member: 33722"] Basically, yes. The router is an intermediary between the two for all intent and purpose. Short of "enhancing" the Apple TV with some warranty-busting software, you are unable to link the two directly together. There are some pretty easy ways to get around this, but I don't believe ATV software enhancements are acceptable topics on these forums at present. Again, you may find that syncing a representative amout of content via the ethernet cable, and then streaming the rest is not a bad strategy. For example, I have the original ATV with a 40GB HDD. On it I have synced my relatively small iTunes library (12GB) and all of my iPhotos (about 10GB). I also have 3 or 4 movies and perhaps 5 TV shows on the ATV's internal drive. Everything else streams from my Mac Mini's external 1TB RAID via wireless N. Even wireless G has plenty of bandwidth to stream HD video content with excellent quality within one's own home. [/QUOTE]
