Am looking at the following entertainment set-up for the den downstairs:
- Panasonic Viera TC-P50G20
- Sony BDP-S570
- Yamaha RX-V667
We've modded an older X-Box, so that streams music / videos from the external HD's hooked directly to the iMac that is upstairs... the new TV & DVD player will go downstairs, next room over from the Apple Airport Express.
So, first question is this: with the abilities of the Sony DVD player + that of the modded X-Box, is there anything that having an Apple TV would bring to the picture [pun, what pun?
] - any benefit?

I guess though that there may be some issue trying this [not using Apple TV] since there is this conflict? However, we've been able to stream content via the modded X-Box to a current TV... but won't be able to via the Sony?

PS - of the above items, are there better quality and/or improved versions, in similar price point?
