10.5.3 wont find my AppleTV

[mooty]

Just bought a new TV, and after huge head scratching still cannot see it as a device in iTunes on my 10.5.3 MBP. Running on a AEB wireless network.

Prefs are set to search for TVs, but no luck.

What is stranger is I just found that my GFs MacBook on 10.5.2 can happily see the TV on the same network with the same settings.

Anyone got any advice? Anyone with similar experiences?

set your AEBS to a fixed channel. there are some issues / threads around the "automatic channel" settings for it.
I changed it on mine and ever since everything works perfectly.

Strange. I'm on 10.5.3 with the AEBS, no problems here. It just worked.


I had some problems back in 10.5.2, restarting iTunes did the trick.

Its been set to channel 6 the whole time I'm afraid. There's gotta be something about the MBP thats different (other than 10.5.3 Vs 10.5.2).

Only time I saw it on the MBP was when I connected the MBP via ethernet to the TV

hm, I did not upgrade to 10.5.3 yet.
I dont know what else could be the problem.

Is your network setup as DHCP, or fixed IPs?
