Hi All,
I am in the process of a major renovation at my house and as part of that renovation I am upgrading our TV and media systems.
Firstly, we are an Apple household. We have an Airport Extreme, 27 inch iMac (2010 model), plus various wireless devices such as iPads, iPhones, a MacBook Pro and a MacBook Air. I also have several Airport Expresses set up to play music to powered speakers or radios throughout the house.
What I plan to do is the following:
1. Replace the Airport Extreme with a new Time Capsule, and move my iTunes library onto it. The iTunes library has about 4500 songs and about 100 movies.
2. Install a new 46 inch flat screen TV and connect it to an Apple TV. Our cable provider is Cox, so we have a box for that. I will likely be adding a sound bar to the TV to improve the audio, but not any other additional speakers or receivers, at least not for the foreseeable future.
3. My goal is to be able to play any of the media on in the iTunes library wirelessly on the TV or any of the other connected devices in the house.
I believe this will all work, but would appreciate the collective opinions and wisdom of the members here: Does this plan sound reasonable, and what pitfalls could occur?
Many thanks in advance for any advice or opinions.
