hi guys.
i understand none of this but have so far managed to bodge together the following:
i have 5 apple tvs around the house, 2 MacBooks, all using the new time capsule.
i have a hard drive connected via usb to the time capsule that I've used to store movies on and i can view the films on there using my western digital tv streamer.... happy with that!
after turning on home sharing in itunes, if i leave my macbook on, i can view my iTunes library on the apple tvs and stream them from the hdd connected to the time capsule. but when my macbook is off it won't work.
so what do i need to buy to enable me to have the apple tvs around the house play the videos stored on the hdd.
hope this makes sense?
do i have to buy a mac mini or something to leave constantly on rather than my macboks, or os there a far more simpler solution?
it needs to be viewable on the apple tvs as its just easier for everyone to operate in the household
