>> More AppleTV-related than AirPlay, but still: I just ripped my DVD movie and music video collection onto hard drive as ISO files (600+ discs), and with a jailbroken AppleTV running FireCore aTV Flash I can just select the disc I want to watch and press Play and that's it. Apart from a few exceptions, works like a charm: the files play just like the original DVD's. Once it's that easy, there's really no excuse not to watch Peter Gabriel / Ultravox / OMD / Goldfrapp / Depeche Mode / Björk etc live every evening :-). And while ripping, I found a lot of stuff I didn't even remember I had. Have to get a BlueRay drive and do the same for my BR discs. After that I'll stop buying movies on physical media.

>> I also share the same physical iTunes library (on file level) between my basement PC (my iTunes server) and my main machine, and that keeps everything nicely up to date and in sync. For some reason, however, the Mac Mini in my living room can't connect to the same iTunes library as the PC's, it complains about files being locked or insufficient privileges or some such. I'll have to look into that.

>> As a side note, for the last five years, I haven't had any sort of live TV reception. There's an antenna on the roof, but the antenna and TV aren't connected. However, I can watch live TV (not all local channels, though) on my iPad, and just AirPlay it to the AppleTV and then watch it on the big screen. I'm currently on the lookout for a Mac software which does the same thing, so I can free the iPad, as it can't stream in the background.
