Done with my Boxee and just picked up the new ATV. What should I expect when I get home to set it up to Airplay from my iPad and Airvideo? I already have the server running on my Win7 PC and it works to the iPad/iPhone. Should I keep a charger next to my couch for the iPad while watching? Quality-wise it works reasonably well? Aside from that, I'm (im)patiently waiting for the ATV3 jailbreak to put XBMC natively on the puppy. I imagine it'll be very solid with the boost in processor and all. Never played around with an ATV, aside from the Airplay/XBMC, what other sweet things does it do well that I should be super impressed with. I don't have Netflix or subscribe to any other online services. ESPN3 work?

Thwomp posted:If the server is already running, you should be good to go. Just hit the airplay button once you start live converting your video and it'll pop up on the appletv almost immediately. Quality is pretty good for converting stuff on the fly and sending it wirelessly to an aTV. We just cancelled DirecTV and are Usenet subscribers so we should be pretty much set on the Cord-cutting. Also found out that if I split my cable modem I get the basics in SD (locals in HD) so that's good for a quick browse if we're bored. Feeling like I'm approaching Nirvana with my set up save for the Airplay workaround. I also like the fact that since we both have iPhone 4s's we can just pop open Airplay and do it right from our phones, although it'll take away our attention-detractor-device during the shows! (may not be a bad thing)

Plugged the new atv3 into my Samsung dlp and nothing is on my screen. Tried another hdmi cable and rebooted the box. I have a solid white light on the front. Any ideas? Edit: unit works on my newer lg. tried again on the 2004ish Samsung. No dice. TraderStav fucked around with this message at 00:22 on Apr 28, 2012 |

It's probably because it defaults to 1080p and my tv only does 720p. Need to figure out how to set it up and hook it back up.

Time for a deep google dive unless you guys got any ideas. Is there some advanced hdmi requirement that my older tv may not have.

Ugh. Looking like my tv just isn't compatible. I may try out a hdmi to component convertor and see if that works. There goes my plug and play.

Actually thinking my hdmi port is busted. That would explain why the boxee had issues as well as the ATV. Going to test out my Xbox and see if that has issues. May be a good time to replace the set.

Dogen posted:I had a Sammy DLP from 2003 and it had HDCP over HDMI and DVI. Yeah. It's all pointing to the hdmi. Either I get a converter and do that rig job or bite the bullet and make this a basement tv. Appreciate the input guys.
