[QUOTE="Smithy1783, post: 762627, member: 65706"] [b]Apple TV[/b] Hi, My set up is entirely Wireless Apple using new and old Airport Extreme Base stations. This allows me to connect the fster 802.11 n devices and like Apple TV and my Macbook and the older 802.11 b&g devices like PS3 & 360 Elite. I have my iTunes content stored on an ext HDD (1TB Western Digital) connected to my Time Capsule. My Apple TV needs to have iTunes running on my Macbook but as the files are stored on the HDD, I am not limited either by the size of Apple TV or the size of HDD on my laptop. I am going through the process of backing up my DVD library and putting the content on the 1TB drive and the physical discs in my loft space. There are a few issues with this setup as I sometimes lose my connection when my laptop runs out of juice but I will resolve that when I get a Mac Mini (after Macworld). Having said all of that, I cannot recommend Apple TV enough... but only if you are committed to iTunes (or use Boxee). I myself love all things Apple - I use my iPhone to control my Music and Movies and now that I can stream from my Apple TV to my Denon Stereo via Airport Express... Apple Tv really is the centre of my Media Network. I would be happy to send you a bit more detail and/or a diagram if that would help. Good Luck whatever you decide but I am very, very happy with my Dual Frequency Apple Network and Apple TV. [/QUOTE]
