Hey guys!
Hopefully this is an alright place to post this.
At my University, I am unable to use home sharing, airplay, and other over-the-network features that come along with connecting my iPad/iPhone/Macbook to my Apple TV. I've been poking around the ATV threads and in the past have received suggestions to make an ad hoc network, but those won't work for me as well.
Now that my family has switched to the share everything plan, we have mobile hotspot included.
I know that to connect my phone to my ATV, it just has to be on the same wi-fi connection, so I don't think I'll have a problem playing music from my phone onto my TV, but I was wondering how much data this will use up? Does this seem like something that will just eat away at it? I have 2GB a month set aside for just myself (and seeing as my parents never use up theirs, I have some wiggle room) and I'm almost always on a wi-fi connection because it's everywhere on campus.
I just wasn't sure if something like this would eat up as much data as streaming/downloading content.
Please let me know if I should move this somewhere else!
