[QUOTE="magentawave, post: 1561290, member: 236694"] Yes I verified this by calling Apple again and the Airport Time Capsule does create its own wifi network without an internet connection. It is basically an external hard drive with a built in router. I called DirectTV and asked them if its possible to transfer movies/TV shows from their DVR to my external hard drive and she said it was but said that since that is a third party application that she wouldn't be able to tell me how to do that. Yes apparently I can play movies on my iPad by "beaming" them from the Airport Time Capsule using the Filebrowser app. I knew that thanks but I meant for my purposes of watching movies stored on a wifi hard drive on my iPad without an internet connection if it somehow made a difference and apparently it wouldn't. ;) I have never heard of the Air Stash until now. Is the Air Stash basically a router that could enable me to do this with a much less expensive NON wifi hard drive? [/QUOTE]
