    Folks,

    Is it possible to save content to the Apple TV?
    We have them here in work and they are looking to have the screensaver changed from the animals (apple standard) to a company set of images, and also run a 3 minute video clip on repeat when needed.

    At the minute I can do all of this from iTunes, but is it possible to have these files sit on the Apple TV so that I dont have to have my laptop left in the room?

    Apple TV has no usable memory as far as I know, so I don't think it'd be possible.

    I think the Apple TV can also use pictures from your camera roll in the screensaver. You could take pictures using an iphone or iPad linked to the Apple TV through an AppleID and it might work?

    I would say that the three minute video is out of the question.

    What might also work is an app called Statusboard for iPad, but I don't know if that does video either.

    There's a new version of the OS about to come out that has conference room type functionality which will allow you t customise the background. Lots of businesses use them for presentations instead of projectors.

    No its not storage device. Its memory is only used for caching.

    Maybe it would still work if the laptop is turned off. But I expect Apple has blocked that. Easy to try, play the movie, then turn off the laptop, it should be cached on the Apple TV. If its blocked, then Apple have blocked it somehow.
