by Got an Apple, Mac, or iOS tech question? We have the answer. In this week’s installment of Ask, we check out Apple TV and explain how you can use it play media content that’s been saved to your computer.
Question: I use an Apple TV, and I was wondering if there is any way to save movies or a TV series that I want to watch on my computer hard drive so that I can watch them later? I have DSL, which makes it difficult to stream my shows. Is there any way to do this with the latest Apple TV?
Answer: Absolutely! Using AirPlay, you can purchase your shows, movies, and other iTunes Store content on your computer using iTunes, then play it back over your local network to the Apple TV. Because streaming the content from your computer to your Apple TV happens locally, the speed depends on your wireless router rather than your Internet connection.
