[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1628226, member: 38864"] Which MBP do you have? I see you listed some specs in your profile, but the identifier [URL="http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords=A1286"]A1286[/URL] applies to a lot of different MacBooks. If it has a Mini DisplayPort, you can get an adapter. Here's an example: [url=http://store.apple.com/us/product/HGFD2ZM/A/belkin-4k-mini-displayport-to-hdmi-cable-4-m13-ft?fnode=51]Belkin 4K Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Cable (4 m/13 ft.) - Apple Store (U.S.)[/url] Otherwise, yes, the Apple TV would need to be on a network. You have to authorize "Home Sharing" with your iTunes account to stream anything from iTunes. And that connection apparently has to be more or less persistent. Despite having long ago authorized my ATV for Home Sharing, we had an internet outage that lasted 2 days and the ATV wouldn't connect to my iMac on my home network. [/QUOTE]
