home sharing: Can this be used to set up home sharing, so that I could access movies wirelessly with my apple tv?

Yes, that is exactly what I do. I store my iTunes library on my time capsule so that inhale only one iTunes library that is shared by my PC and Macs and my Apple TV. It also means you don't need your computer on to access your iTunes from your Apple TV.

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.

No. You would need an AppleTV or equivalent to interface from a stream to HDMI

Yes, you can. I have two of these units on my Airplay set up, one in the living room and one on my back porch. I also have my Apple TV on the same network. They work great for me. The wireless receiver range on these units is somewhat limited. My house is large, so I use wireless extenders for proper network signal strength (Netgear sells units for <$50).

I don't own a Mac, but I'm not aware of any way to share a screen from any OS, just push media to it (which you can do from a Mac, ostensibly, with AirPlay).

Yes you can. Apple tv uses hdmi so you can simply connect it to this projector. If you are using an iPhone though you'll need the apple adapter to hdmi.

No, you can't. I tried it from the apple TV to the HDTV, and noting was coming out. I also tried it with other combinations. Nothing. I Don't recommend this product. It was too late when I found out and I could no longer do a return. I ended up throwing it.

Hei, Saje. I do not know about Apple TV, but the Sabrent HDMI works well to me even through TV is setting on PAL. and my media projector also.

I have my Apple TV connected directly to the range extender and works well with it. Air play works fine (I.e. Watching an Amazon Prime video streamed from my IPad). The only time I had some issues was when I tried to use everything through wifi. The connection, was kinda slow, I guess Ethernet will always beat wifi when it comes to video streaming.

I have been using it with my Apple TV unit since I purchased it. There is no set up required, plug in your units and plug the unit in. That's it!

Jillian, I haven't tried yet but it says I can add my Sony wifi TV to my home group. I will try later and let you know.

This device acts as a WiFi router ,so, you can connect any device that uses WiFi (PC, iPod, macbook...Apple TV). THe only thing is you may not have reliable 4G network!.. remember only 500 MB is free

You want to look at an hdmi edid emulator. I tried one but it didn't work, so I went with an AppleTV, and the Compulab product to enable AirPlay mirroring.

No. The best way to do that is wirelessly through a device called Apple TV (it's not a TV), which connects to your TV.

nope - well not with this setup. i would google around but my ipad mini's port is specialized so to use this you would need an ipad mini connector/converter to thunderbolt input. It works great on my Macbook air to hdmi out to tv, but currently I have an Apple TV box and I am able to mirror wireless to my tv through the Apple TV - it's called AirPlay Mirroring and it's compatible with iPads and new versions of IOS.
