I'm behind the times so I find this mind blowing. I swear I have aged like 15 years in the last four.

I never find the need to do it. What would you want to stream from a phone?
Honest question.

I set things up to download stuff onto a hard drive attached to my desktop machine upstairs. I then use an app called Air Video to stream it to my phone and then bounce it to the (Apple)TV. The phone becomes like a remote control giving me access to the library of stuff stored on the desktop machine.

There may well be a way of cutting out the middleman and getting AppleTV to talk directly to the desktop computer though (now that I think of it) but hey it's my way and it works a treat.

Oh, I see. Fair play.

I download to my laptop and it bounces to the media player. The phone works as a remoter.

I also like the polar bear swimming and the angry fish.

I really need to get my head around this technology. We're considering giving up the UPC as it's mostly shit but I need to figure this stuff out before then

 

[тхеодоре кацзынски]

Delicious.
I gotta get one of those fancy glasses for drinking out of.

so long as your tellybox has a proper hdmi input you should be grand. try that sky tv now thing for starters. i use mine once in a blue moon and it's still worth the €15 it cost.

Never had a St Feuillien, where'd you get it? Mad for my Belgian beers so I am.

 

[sleepy]

And it has a picture of an apple on it

Im not exactly sure, its been in the press a while. Either Redmonds of Ranelagh or Devaneys, Dundrum. Well worth getting.

Honest question.

Youtube clips. There's one of a bunch of pandas going down a slide that my young lad watches all the time but if he gets the phone it's fucking impossible to get it back off him and he's already cracked the screen on it.
That's probably an oddly specific answer.
Spotify stuff too.
You can also look at your photos on de telly

I actually only heard about this after I bought the apple tv thing.

I never take photos. My life is generally undocumented.

So too answer your original question the Apple TV probably doesn't offer anything you don't have already

How will your facebook friends know what you had for dinner?
