Hi guys, I am a pure Mac user.
iMac / Macbook Pro and of course iPhone.
-
We have a TV and before I used to use a WDTV I connected to the TV, with a USB attached to it - to watch downloaded material of my own on the TV. I want to upgrade the home system to watch downloaded material but do not know what to do.
It is a Smart TV - Samsung.
I was going to Purchase a NAS drive and stream content from NAS to the TV.
The other option was to buy the new APPLE TV model and I guess I can mirror from my Macbook Pro to my TV if I did that.
Or I was also looking at the Airport Extreme but do not know what that will actually do in allowing this.
-
So the idea is basically, content on my iMac - like videos mainly and pics too, I want to get it onto the TV as easily as possible.
Any suggestions how to do this as Mac user?
[doublepost=1461070675][/doublepost]Forgot to add, as an alternative to Apple TV - I was thinking of getting a ROKU 2 as I read a lot of good reviews and it has the USB port to it.
I just wanted to know if people here recommend a better investment like a NAS drive.
