Alternatively, there is an Ethernet port on your Apple TV. You can simply run an Ethernet cable to a free port on your router (I'm assuming that your router is nearby.) Then you wouldn't need your wi-fi password.

Wired > wireless
 
Thanks everyone! I got it. Called net company and they gave it to me. It was what I thought it was...I must have typed it incorrectly. It used to be one like the one in Mr. X's post, but I finally changed it.

Anyway, Apple tv was an easy set up after finding the additional port (thanks Cami and Matty) ...it looks sweet! I am serious when I say that anyone who has not seen the West Wing NEEDS to see it. I'm already sad about the last episode and I'm only 7 episodes in to a 22 episode season 1. I'm a sucker for witty banter. It's not at all like I thought it would be.


I think the thread is over now, but I guess it's over when House says it's over.
 
So if I get rid of cable and subscribe to that gamecenter or whatever, I can watch it through the computer on tv and reception is ok?

Yes... I still have cable, but I have read of people ditching cable for this. You wouldn't be able to see local real time news etc w/o cable if you care about that...

I love this so much I'm going to get a 2nd one for the main TV I think....in the long run much cheaper than On Demand movies.

Most of the time, yes. Quality is excellent, but you'll get the occasional stutter/buffering, and there's a 30 to 45 second delay vs. live, so if you have a scoreboard open on your computer you'll see the score change before seeing the actual goal.

It's kind of shitty for live-watching at home. Better when you're on the go.
 
thanx yall :hug:

kinda looking forward to this. cable has been raising my bill and screwing with me. I realize I don't wanna watch 99% of the shit on there.
Would rather subscribe to the few things I do like.

So Matty is that GameCenter good for playoffs too? They don't get blacked out if the game is on cable do they?

I get the Center Ice package and if it's a game on nbc or nbcsn, it was blacked out. They have some exclusive deal with Verizon. All of the Avalanche games would be blacked out I believe also.
