[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1122410, member: 56379"] So another question regarding Apple TV. Reading the formats that are "streamable"...the Apple TV is capable of streaming let's 720p HD content from say a computer...but it's not able to stream 1080p. Is this a big deal or not? For example...if you purchased the HD DVD version of the movie "Avatar"...and let's say you don't own a dedicated DVD player (just for example). Then played and streamed it from a Macbook or Macbook Pro to the Apple TV (which of course is plugged into your 65" flat panel TV).;) Are you losing something (from a quality perspective) if the Apple TV cannot stream 1080p content. Or in this example...is the Avatar movie DVD in 720p format anyway...so no quality loss? I did also notice that the Apple TV is capable of wireless "n"...so I assume it's best (when streaming HD video) to stream it from a computer that is also capable of wireless "n"...and I didn't even know if wireless "n" is even good enough/fast enough for streaming 1080p content. Thanks for any replies, - Nick [/QUOTE]
