I don't know if anyone knows about a small device that will hook up to your HD TV via the HDMI connector, be either WiFi or with a Cat5 cable to your router or modem.

Well here's the gist, Apple produces many devices from phones to computers, but their Apple TV is the future of television, it will make cable and satellite obsolete.

Instead of paying huge bills for those services, why not make use of an Apple TV, (ATV2)???

It needs a "jailbreak" no not joking, that's what "opening it up" is called, "jailbreaking"...

Nothing illegal about this!! Once 'jailbroken" you will need to download some free software called repositories and some "plug ins" And you can watch almost every movie ever made, every TV show ever made, live sports, live TV from around the world!!

I've had my ATV2 for about a month now, and wow!!!! This is the future!! For watching HD or higher resolution, an internet connection of 7Mb/s is the best, or it has a habit of buffering every coupld of minutes. I'm unlucky there, mine is 1.5Mb/s, we don't have higher connection at the moment available to us. But there's still a ton of high quality movies and TV shows we have watched.

There are sites that can be accessed that it would be stealing from, like Netflix, but why steal from them??? There are hundreds of sites the jailbroken ATV2 can access without breaking any laws.

If anyone is interested, I can post some links to "wet your appetite".

But this is the future of TV!!!

They can neither stop it anymore than satellite or cable TV Mick as it's all legal.

I'll dig some links out for you to peruse on ATV and sites to check and see what is available for you in the morning.

A good site is Hulu, they have standard movies and shows with short advertising breaks, I can live with them, nothing like the 5 minutes every ten minutes of regular TV!! BUT, it's only available in the USA..... But there's a way around that...LOL It's called use a proxy, which you enter using the remote for the ATV and select a simple menu using the remote.

Normally I cannot get any BBC or ITV shows etc, but one of the plugins gets me them, including Sky channels, no good to me as my internet connection isn't fast enough.

Still, I have enough to occupy me in everything else I can get.
