Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
We finally got an Apple TV. 2nd generation which is quite different from the original. We'd been waiting for a while - the product finally "made sense" IMO.
It's really cool. We can remote control our stereo from my iPad or my husbands iPod Touch, and play any of the music on either device from anywhere in the house - even volume control. This is really great, because up until now we had iPods tethered to the stereo and you had to go over there make selections, start, stop, etc. Now if you are listening to something on your iPad/iPod and you decide you want to hear it over the stereo instead, you just push a button!
We can browse youtube videos from the TV.
View any of our own videos and photos on our TV.
A lot of people watch Netflix movies this way, but we haven't gotten into using Netflix yet.
The Apple TV has it's own highspeed ethernet connection for accessing the internet (for movie downloads, youtube etc.), but the stuff shared from our iPod Touch and iPad is streamed over our local WiFi.
The integration is really neat. $100.
