youtube has like its own &#63743;tv browser or something? is the catalogue complete (same as youtube web)?<br><br><br>but otherwise, as to my original question, i can save almost any web video --can i then simply transfer that to the &#63743;tv's hd and then it will show --i guess all i really need do is drop it in my comp's iTunes then it will transfer, does it have to be transcoded to a particular format/codec?<br><br>that's all my question's right in there, sorry, i shoulda managed to ask them the first time.<br><br>thanks in advance. <br><br><br><br>"fly peacock, fly."<br><br>[color:red]Libertarian Communist</font color=red>

This should answer your questions about youtube and &#63743;TV: http://www.apple.com/appletv/features.html#youtube<br><br>I don't know if you have access to ALL of youtube or not. I don't use it.<br><br>But as for web videos, I guess as long as iTunes can play them, then the &#63743;TV can. If not, you can use VisualHub to convert them.<br><br>my photos

Some other options:<br><br>A Wii and the internet channel works great for YouTube.<br><br>A PS3 and DLNA server (TwonkyVision) works great for streaming media to the TV.<br><br><br><br>Hey I'm an F'n Jerk!®

Yes it's $399, but that also gets you a game machine, BluRay player and full 1080p support.<br><br>Want movie rentals? Grab your DLNA server of choice on your PC and stream Netflix. :P<br><br><br><br>Hey I'm an F'n Jerk!®
