I think I'll end up building a couple of shuttles. They will run about $300-400, but they will be full computers so it'll be nice.

I use the Apple TV and airplay from my iPhone or iPad using AirVideo to stream from my media center.  Doesn't matter the format with AirVideo because it does on the fly conversion as it streams with no slowdown or hiccups.  Also got AirParrot for the wife's laptop.  AirPlays the Windows desktop through the Apple TV with no lag.  Not an Apple fanboy, but I like having the small form factor Apple TV hidden away in the entertainment center.

I do like AirPlay. My receiver is capable and I use it with my phone.

Wow your apartment offers internet included in the rent??

 

Sure Do!

 

Just audio Receiver Dat? Wasn't sure if you meant cable receiver, which would be awesome.

Oh yeah. Just the audio receiver. Cable isn't ever going to get with the times I think.

Speaking of air play. You know what is tons of fun? Since its usually completely unencrypted. Relying on you to be smart enough to connect it only in a protected home network. Well, that leads to fun times in hotels. I'll connect my phone to the hotel wifi. Look for the person who brought their Apple TV etc and proceed to play porn through it.

Yup, so hilarious. Especially if you are close enough to hear the reactions.

Hulu and nfl rewind is a beautiful thing
