Apple TV 2 Question.

[IllusionEntity]

Hey Guys!

I want to get an Apple TV but my TV is OLD. I can only use scart leads or the 3 connectors to plug into my TV. It has no HDMI.

Is there an adapter or something avaliable?

I'm going to say no. I'm guessing your TV is an HDTV, correct?

Yes, you can use an adaptor.

I think he means it's not got a HDMI port on his TV. Since the ATV is HDMI only he'll need an adaptor.

Will that adapter take the sound with it?​

Depends which adapter you get, some are HDMI type DVI adapters that only support video. You can get adapters that do both video and sound.

How much for atv2?

$99 and it's worth every penny if you have the Air Video app.

I love my Apple TV2. I am going to buy another one when I buy my iMac - which should be soon...

This one does audio and video. It works, I have used it.

I'll be getting another ATV when they allow Mac airplay.

For a second TV?

 

[iphonewarrior]

I wouldn't even buy another one, I'd just move the one I already own into another room,

Considering the size of the ATV 2 they're pretty portable. All you need is power and HDMI cable.

Yup for the bedroom TV. Just thought since I was gonna spend $1300 whats another $99 lol

Im a sucker for convienience - I have my living room home theater setup so when i turn everything off - it actually sets the receiver to the input for the Apple TV. This makes Airplaying music out of my home theater system even when its "off" a breeze. Example: This past new years I had a big party at my place and had a bunch of friends stay over (no drinking and driving under my roof) - a bunch of them slept in the living room and when i woke up in the morning I airplayed a smooth Kenny G rendition of Auld Lang Syne to wake everyone up from my iPad 2 in the bedroom to the living room theater.

Or you can use the optical audio out. I do to my stereo amp and then blast it through my Bose 901's.

My ATV is all in my entertainment center and connected. I wouldn't want to have to pull the cords out and move it every time I wanted to use it. Besides, if I have it then the family can't use it.

I want another one so I can hook it to my projector and have wireless KeyNote and PowerPoint presentations from my MacBookPro. That's a feature I am really waiting for.

It 'should' work. Other than the pain in the butt if it doesn't work to your expectations is the return process.
While your at best buy getting the atv, checkout a new TV

lol thanks roofmonkey! No I wouldn't trade this tv for anything! 63 inch inside of a whole wall unit, I love it. Plus it's projection, I like the way it looks compared to a lot of the LCD ones lol.

 

[MuddyPaws]

Should work but i'm not sure on your tv if you can change the aspect ratio. I had to change the projector I was using so it looked right.
