[QUOTE="Nighthawk4, post: 1293855, member: 61193"] I notice the Apple TV only goes up to 720p. The WD TV [URL="http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B002LZUHMI/"]link[/URL] does 1020p. I suppose that wouldn't cope with stuff bought via iTunes though :( How about non-DRM stuff in iTunes? The WDTV is cheaper and does a higher res but not DRM media. The ATV is more expensive and lower res but does DRM. I suppose that about sums it up? On a different approach, if the ATV doesn't do 1020p, is it better to connect that with something other than HDMI if I am short of HDMI sockets on the TV? Both the Blu-Ray player and Sky+ HD can do 1020p, so should I give those the better connections? If so, what other options can I use for the ATV? I imagine the red, white and yellow phono ports are not wise. So I have the five phono sockets (Composite?) or SCART? There is also some sort of optical connection - is that sound only? [/QUOTE]
