I have the same question:Can I watch a show from a different TV in my house other than this device is connected?I guess the answer is no. So if the device is connected to the TV in the living room I will not be able to continue to watch a movie in my bedroom unless I purchase another Roku and connect it to the TV in the bedroom. Correct?

That's what I was hoping for, but no, not from what I've seen from trying to use it. The issue is that you have to connect to this dongle as a WiFi network of its own, which means you can only play stuff already downloaded onto your device i.e. music or video already on your iPhone, not streaming. I think the Roku stick (coming out this week) is better for what you want to do.

I have a roku and I hooked it up to one of the HDMI's i believe it's simular to your apple. Hook your hdmi from your projecter to one of the other hdmi's.

InstaTv Pro is your solution, http://instatv-app.com/ I use one of them, and sometimes on HD channels it can be a little flakey at times, but it works for the IPAD. Still trying to get it to work on Roku. No idea on appletv.

The short answer is no. Your choices to stream from an ipad to tv consists of Apple TV, google chrome cast, and with some tweaking xbmc/playon.

We use a Roku HD with an older TV which has composite inputs (red, white, yellow) and it works great. Part of the Roku setup will ask you questions that address this and other things. It was a snap to set up. With Roku you will not need a computer except to register the Roku. You can manage your Netflix queue on your Mac if you want. You can also use the Roku on your TV.I think you'll like it.

Hi Bameiboo!Thank you for your inquiry!This item is not featured by Roku. This is a portable device that can be connected to ports of HDMI/MHL which allows you to mirror your apple device.AisteBisonOffice

Miranda, I feel I didn't give you a good enough answer earlier and I don't want the contrarians to confuse you. Keep in mind that I am a Roku User/Owner and prefer the Roku to the Apple Product. I believe you are looking for a simple solution, not complicated? It is really going to come down to how much you're willing to do to make it work. If you want it to work out of the box with Apple Itunes... buy the Apple box. If your willing to do some server setups, file conversions and a fair amount of tinkering, then go with the Roku... you can make just about anything work with enough effort. The Roku will never have a native Itunes application as it is a competing device that is partnered with Amazon's VOD service. Because of this, and limitations of the Roku supported file types, there will never be a direct way to play things you purchase off of Itunes. I hope this helps.

Is it possible? Yes. Is it practical? No. Based on app version 2.6.6, firmware 2.9, iPhone w/ 7.0.4, iPad w/ 6.1.3, the app doesn't directly support AirPlay. You can do it by: 1. Connect Media Drive to your home access point over wifi. 2. Determine the Media Drive's IP address on your home wifi network. This is NOT the 192.168.11.1 address of the Media Drive's self-generated wifi network. 3. Access the web portal through the browser by entering the IP address of step 2. You need to use a browser that allows User Agent spoofing (I use Mercury). Set the User Agent to some desktop browser. If the drive thinks you're connecting with a mobile browser, it will instead prompt you to connect with the app. 4. Browse to the video of your choice, click twice, and stream to Apple TV. This is both cumbersome and requires a lot of free bandwidth on your home network. The stream is bouncing from Media Drive, to router, to iPad, back to router, to Apple TV. My experience has been that it's not a great solution.

You can't. For some nonsense reason, Samsung never made it available for this model. Quite frustrating. The other apps I found very slow and buggy anyway (Netflix is PAINFULLY slow), so I went out and bought a roku. You might want to do the same (or look at an Apple TV). Shame. Samsung make great hardware, but they suck at the software side of things.

If you have your movies loaded on the MyCloud and you have the MyCloud app on your iPad 2 you can watch them very easily. Just open the app and go to where your files are located and you are there. I actually placed my whole iTunes library on my MyCloud and I use my iPhone and iPad with the MyCloud app to access my movies and then I use airplay and Apple TV to watch/stream them on my tv all while never having to get up from my couch.

If you have an Apple TV the only reason would be to control your Tv from the iPhone/iPod. Not much else. The Apple TV does everything pretty well. That said the iPhone app allows you to stream pictures and type directly. The phone does not turn on or off the TV so not much work there. If it were my choice I'd just use the Apple TV.

It will not work with Apple TV on its own. You can put all of your media on to it, then add that media to your iTunes library and use it with an Apple TV like that, though.

I think this is a double question, I don't have an "Apple TV box", Yes You can open music and photographs in iTunes on an iMac or iPad, opening them up on an "Apple TV box" I do not know if that is possible to stream data since I do not have one of those.

There is a Redbox app available on the Roku 3. I've not used it, but I have seen that the app is available.

Yup. That was my entire reason for the purchase. I use it with my Apple TV and ROKU media streamers. Works great!
