I would love to know your experiences in streaming media at home? |
That's what I like about Apple stuff. It generally just works, and works well together.
Will I get an atv? Probably not. While I would like one, I don't currently have a HDTV (I'll get one when the current Sony dies), and I was given a shuttle PC by work that (using XBMC with an ok video card) does a brilliant job of streaming videos from my 1TB NAS and with little or no re-encoding.
It did, however, take the best part of an afternoon to set up and get working. The shuttlebox had a dead HDD, and while work also gave me a spare one of those, I still had to install it and install windows 7 on it.
