[QUOTE="unclehefty, post: 1343519, member: 214050"] I have a similar issue, but maybe not as complex. We have nine (yes nine) Apple devices (1x MacPro, 2 x MBP, 2 x iPad, 2 x iPhone and 1 x Apple TV) and I store my movies on an external HD accessed via Itunes on my MBP. What I would like to be able to do is to hitch the HD containng the movies to the back of our Time Capsule (sorry that makes ten) and use that as the storage and streaming device. Here is the current issue; when we switch on AppleTV it searches for one or other of our Itunes and then uses Itunes to stream the movies - it works but is a pain. Will this still be the set up or can we simply access the movies directly? No gobbledegeek please I'm an old duffer with little tech knowledge. Uncle H [/QUOTE]
