ATV to display in another room

I have an ATV (ver2.2) in my living room hooked up to a Sony LCD TV by HDMI.
I would like to send the ATV display to a TV in my kitchen (Samsumg LCD TV with all the usual interfaces) and also send the audio to a stereo in the kitchen.
I also have an Itouch (2G) with could be used as a remote control for the ATV.
There is coax running from my TV in the front room to the TV in the Kitchen and there are 2 speaker cables running from living room to the kitchen stereo that could be utilised for audio.
Is this possible and if so what is the best way to go about it.
Many Thanks in Advance

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
You could introduce some sort of signal splitter and converter to get the signal into RF but The results might not be all you expect. You would have no control over the display in the kitchen and would need to operate things from the tv in the lounge.
Cost wise it will likely be little different than purchasing another tv for the kitchen.

  • When streaming a movie from an imac to apple tv, is there a way of putting the imac display off? I find it a waste having the screen on in another room. Any advice?

    No problem.
    This is a user forum so you are not addressing Apple. There's nothing to fix, that's how home-sharing works. There would be no way for the ATV to recognize your library and display content if the computer is in sleep mode.
    You can always airplay from an IOS device or use icloud if you don't wish to keep the computer on.

  • How can I perform a factory reset on an Apple TV over a network from another room?

    I would like to either perform a factory reset or erase user account information on a third generation Apple TV located in another room preferably over a network. This would allow me to manage the devices off site over IP with different people using the device and setting up their accounts for Netflix etc. Is this possible? I have heard of this being done without jailbreaking and I am curious to how they have done it.

    Thanks Brian. It looks like the Apple Configurator app will reset settings and account info. I will look into third party apps as well. It needs to be as simple and quick as possible as we would be doing it daily to many ATVs.

  • Is there a way to connect an external speaker (for another room) through the headphone port

    Is there a way to connect an external speaker (for another room) through the headphone port  & still hear sound through the internal speakers?  System Preferences/Sound/Output or Sound Effects allows you to use one or the other  --  headphones or internal speakers.  I would like to have the option of hearing music through the internal speakers in one room, & through an external speaker in another room at the same time.  I also do not want to frequently disconnect/reconnect the external speaker from/to the headphone port as I know over time the connection could become loose.  (10.7.4  Lion)

    dont think so but I could be wrong
    as it were I didn't like the build in audio so I connected some external logictech 2.1 speakers  but there
    are times when I use headset so I bought this one
    or any minijack splitter will work too so I have 2 things connected to the headset port works just fine

  • Can't use my HP Deskjet F4580 Wireless Printer with the AirPort Extreme Base. The printer is NOT connected at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme, and is placed in another room. It worked just fine with my previous router (Linksys WRT54G). Help me!

    Hey Guys!
    I just got my AirPort Extreme Base, but I can't use my HP Deskjet F4580 wireless printer with it.
    The printer is not connected to the AirPort Extreme's USB port. It is placed in another room, and I'd like to use it (the printer) wirelessly (not connected to the USB port os the AirPort Extreme), as I used to. There is no place for the printer close the AirPort Extreme. It worked just fine with my previous wireless router (Linksys WRT54G). I'm very disappointed with the AirPort Extreme Base Station because of that!...
    Can you help me? Please?!
    Thanks Folks!

    This must be a tough one, no suggestions at all.

    Is there a performance difference between GPT and MBR? If GPT is better, I do not mind formatting the drive with it.

    Thanks. What about the thunderbolt port?

    Hi,
    There was a serious BIOS/UEFI problem with that SSD . Perhaps this thread will save you some headaches. Someone is recomending shutting off Rapid Boot in the setup, which would probable mean little with a SSD, anyway.
    I read through this, and it looks like the problem was fixed in a BIOS update, which I plan to do. However, it also seems like Intel Rapid Start is not even worth it in the first place, as sleep consumes almost no power at all.

  • I have a new iPhone and have kept my old one to play music in another room, when i recently updated my new iPhone it has backed up to my old iPhone and I have therefore lost pictures, messages etc from my new phone how can I get it all back?

    I have a new iPhone and have kept my old one to play music in another room.  I have recently updated my software on the new iPhone and when it backed up it backed up to the old iPhone, I have therefore lost pictures, messages and apps from my new iPhone as it has backed up to the last session of the old phone, how can I get all my new stuff back and stop it from happening again?

    No such thing has occurred.  iPhones do not backup to one another.
    It is not possible to backup a different iPhone from the one being updated.
    If the iPhone was restored with a backup from a different device, restore it again from the correct backup.

    Pay attention when restoring the iPhone and select the correct backup to restore from.

  • Using an iMac as a 2nd display for another iMac?

    Hi all,
    is it possible to use an iMac as a 2nd display for another iMac?
    I guess it depends (if at all possible) on the models, right?
    Would it be possible with two of the currently available iMac 27" models?
    Is it just connecting the two video jacks with a cable? That would mean that the jack is input AND output connector at the same time: the video signal would be output from iMac 1 and serve as input for iMac 2.
    Thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Stefan.

    Awesome, David! Thank you! That helped a lot!
    Additional question: because running applications on the target-display-mode-iMac keep running: will I be able to connect from the source iMac to the target-mode-iMac via OS X's Share Screen functionality? So that I can still USE the 2nd (target-display-mode) iMac for running applications and accessing them? Or is the iMac in target display mode really just a dumb display? Will ssh'ing to it work?
    A little background: programs like Cubase and Logic work really great with two screens. Additionally, some audio plugins really need a lot of CPU power and some of those can actually distribute the number crunching via the LAN to other computers. So my thought is: run Cubase on iMac #1, use iMac #2 as a 2nd screen (will work, thanks to David's reply) AND use iMac #2's CPU, too, to help some Cubase plugins' number crunching. Would that work?
    Thanks a lot,
    Stefan.

  • Connect iMac 2011 as a display for another iMac 2011

    Hello.
    I have two iMac's 2011, and want to use one of them as a display for another.
    Is there any way to do that?
    Best regards,
    Alexey

    Thanx for reply!
    My mistake - one of iMac's is 2010 (iMac11,3).
    According to this doc, there is no way to connect iMac 2010 to 2011 in TDM.
    Maybe there is another way to do that (over ethernet or any other interface)?

  • Printing in another room with USB printer

    Printing in another room with USB printer.
    I have modem/wireless router from my ISP (my current network), a time capsule (version 2?) not currently online, an AirPort Express, a USB photo printer (Epson 2200), a recent Retina Macbook Pro.
    I would like to print photos in a room across the house. Can I accomplish it with these tools? If so, how?
    I'd like to keep the Express unit nearest the modem/router.
    Should I set up a second network?
    If Bob Timmons is out there, I've added the express to the previous formula.
    Thank you.

    If the current AirPort Express is configured to "join" the current network there, and you can move it to the desired printer location and try things out as a test......that would give you an idea about whether buying another Express would allow printing in the remote location.
    There are some real "Ifs" here. One is whether the Express can pick up a strong enough wireless signal in the remote location. The other is whether the Epson and Express are compatible with each other, since Apple does not support all USB printers.

  • Tv aerial socket in another room - help!

    I have set up my BT broadband Hub OK and have broadband........but now struggling with the TV vision box.  I've realised it may be because my tv aerial socket is in another room!!! and my tv donated by a friend has no aeriel cable with it.
    I assume i have to connect the vision box to this aerial socket, so i need to buy an aerial.  Will i have to buy a really really long one and trail it through the house or is there a way to overcome this.
    Any advice gratefully accepted - i am not technical and have no idea what to do or where to go
    Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    If you want to be able to watch and record Freeview TV channels then you are going to need a good external aerial to get a reliable signal. This will have to be connected to the aerial input of the BT Vision box.
    If you just want to watch "on demand" content from BT Vision, then an aerial is not really needed.
    Your TV will need to be connected to the BT Vision box via a SCART or HDMI connection.
    There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

  • Can I listen to iTunes Jazz Radio (Stream) in another room with Express?

    Hi.
    I am using an 802.11 a/b/g/n Extream. I listen to iTunes Jazz Radio (Stream) on my Mac Pro. Can I listen to it with the help of an Airport Express pluged into a stereo in another room? Please help.
    Thank you.

    Can I listen to it with the help of an Airport Express pluged into a stereo in another room?
    Yes, you can use an AirPort Express Base Station (AX) for streaming iTunes audio sources. The AX would just need to be configured as a wireless client by joining the wireless network created by the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn).

    My Apple TV stops and returns to main menu during movie playback and photo slide show via homesharing. I have a second Apple TV in another room that works fine.

    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.
