Greetings, I'm considering an AppleTV and primarily interested in its performance in streaming content from the network. I've been reading a lot of reviews but they all leaving me wanting to be told more about how the atv is performing at streaming off the network. Please let me know how you have been using your appleTV to stream content and how it has been.
As for my interests: my network is currently a g wireless network, single access point, no extenders. In an apartment, depending set up either both the computer of highest interest and appletv would be on wireless with one wall inbetween each and the router. or the apple tv would be a bit father and on the wireless network and the computer can remain plugged into the router.
-Could this set up stream 720p h.264 content saved on the pc?
-If not, using the same physical set up would upgrading to an n wireless router, still with no extenders be enough to make it work?
-And I suppose lastly if wireless hiccups are too great for any wireless option to provide reliable HD streaming I assume any hardwire solution should run the content seamlessly?
And some random questions of lesser importance that I haven't been able to find the answers to from reviews:
-Is appletv able to stream using a playlist created on the itunes it is streaming from? (might be a dumb question but I cannot seem to find this as a listed feature)
-In iTunes you can select a bunch of music videos and set them chain playing, does appletv have something to allow the same result?
-I keep a lot of media files on external HDs, has anyone found streaming hd videos off of an external using usb 2.0 to be too demanding?
Thanks for your time!
