    They have a 8mb connection, so I reckon that should be fast enough.

    I clicked that link and it have me the Top 100. Is there more movies than this to rent?

    I can't access the movie rental itself. Thanks again.

    8mb will be fine, mine works fine for HD films on 7.8mb, but when it dropped to 4.5mb (noise on the line), it stalled every few minutes.

    There are more movies to rent - you can search on the ATV itself, or in the iTunes store.

    Thanks for that.

    I just ordered the Apple TV for a present for someone. How does Apple TV compare to Sky on Demand, as the folks its for have a full sky subscription. I can still cancel the Apple TV as it was only ordered last night. But then I don't have a clue what to get them.

    ATV3 came out in March, so it's possible that a new one will be released in March next year. I haven't read any reports online about it, though. Most of the focus seems to be on the rumoured TV set from Apple, but that still seems to be a long way off.

    I get most of the benefits of apple tv and air play but can someone tell me if I'd be able to download a movie from torr ent site and then use apple tv/airplay to play it on the tv?
    Without having to connect laptop to tv with hdmi?
    Or can i just have torr ent on the tv and do it that way?

    You can get an app called Air Video, which can stream videos from a computer to your iPhone/whatever, and then use AirPlay to send it to the Apple TV.

    You can download it in MP4 format and add it to Itunes, then play it direct to the tv with the Apple TV

    I have Skygo on my Ipad, tried to watch it on the TV via an adapter but wouldn't work.
    Would the Apple TV be a way of getting round this ?

    I streamed TV from the RTE Player to my Apple TV yesterday for the first time and it worked really well.

    Kids also love the AirPlay feature too when they're playing games, drawing on the iPad etc.

    Netflix on Apple TV is the best I've seen. Better than the implementations I've seen on Mac/PC/WDTV/Smart TV. Great quality right from the start and nice tidy interface.

    no, airparrot is for the laptop (windows and Mac), if you want to mirror from iPhone it has to be a 4S or higher, and an iPad from iPad 2 and up, and it's built into the OS from iOS 5. Double click the home button, slide from left to right and you should see the mirroring button (obv the ATV is on!)
    By the way - on a Mac, you can stream what's on screen to an Apple TV without a 3rd party app.

    With the newer macs you can, yes. That's for those who don't have AirPlay, I assumed anyone who has it would know better.

    If its the ATV3, and you'll know if it's 1080p, then you won't be jail breaking anytime soon. Even with the sites saying it's close I wouldn't be waiting on it, they've been saying it's close with a while. Hopefully this time they're right.
