John Rougeux Here? Registered: 11/06/08 Posts: 5031	So our original appletv stopped working. Whenever I pushed a button on the remote it would blink orange. Wife gave green light to get a new appletv..well, a refurb one. Should be here sometime this week. Of course I have found out that the remote may not be synced to the apple tv and I have found out how to fix that, but I will wait until the new one gets here to try that method heheh

Airplay is neat, just wish it would do it in reverse...watch a show on AppleTV and then watch it on your iPad. But apparently right now it's only if you have that show/movie on your iPad already.

Yeah, it's all streaming based now, there's no internal HD anymore. _________________________ AppleCentral Trivia MM-MCF Trivia Call the Doctor

MUCH easier now to sync. And speaking of syncing, whenever I added a new movie/tv show into iTunes, I had to manually hit the sync button in iTunes to sync up the appletv. Now, it just appears on the AppleTV as soon as I put it in iTunes. Nice!
