malkiserow Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 I use the "apple TV" which is just a small box that connects to your TV as another input. A great bit kit and used daily for educational stuff from the web that we want our kids to use/see/interact with. The apple Tv box does more like linking to your home system for file access and streaming etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My regular iPad is spot on with airplay as is the other one which is JB and streaming finger kungfoo from the Chinese New Year celebrationsn high def. Maybe we are lucky with our airplay.

HDAV Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Its down to the content your watching, IIRC the Sky sports football from the app wont airplay but things like iplayer, lovefilm etc will. I dont think this will airplay http://www1.skysports.com/mobile/apps/7377025 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
