Can I link apple tv and watch sky as a sky subscriber?

Hi All
I am thinking of purchasing an Apple TV as a colleague seems to think I can link this to the TV in the bedroom and watch Sky.  I am a Sky subscriber but I am of the opinion that this would stop multiroom subscriptions if we could all do this.  Can someone please advise.
Many thanks

Welcome to the Apple community.
Short answer, no.
Sky subscribers though are entitled to the sky app for iPad and iPhone for free, when iOS5 is released you should then be able to mirror the iOS display via your Apple TV and watch on your TV.

  • Can I buy a film and watch it on my apple tv?

    I have a new apple tv, my iMac is broke so can I buy or hire a film from iTunes on my apple tv and watch it on my apple tv without streaming from my dead iMac which is dead! Also where is the film kept, is it just streamed to my apple tv from iTunes or does it have some memory to store a film? I am clueless as you can see but I don't want to buy a film and not be able to watch it. Also can I watch it on my iPad as well?
    Thanks for any replies and help

    You cannot purchase movies on the Apple TV 2. You can rent a movie and it will stream from the iTunes store. The Apple TV 2 has a small amount of volotile memory so the movie will stay there until you do something else or turn it off, but you can redownload it to watch it again if you wish within your rental period.
    Without a computer (which lets you rent a movie and allows you to transfer it to any other device) you cannot watch a rental on your iPad, if you rented from the Apple TV.

  • HT1657 Once a rented movie is downloaded do I need an Internet connection to view it?  For example can I download a movie and watch it on a flight?

    Please be aware of the movie rental's time limitation that you have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and once you start watching it, you have 24 hours to finish watching it. You may watch it as many times as you like during those 24 hours. It may be helpful to make sure the download completes successfully before you begin watching the movie.
    Once the download is complete you can watch it without an Internet connection. However, an Internet connection to the iTunes Store is required to authorize playback or activate the 24 hours time-limit of movie rentals. This means, only during the starting of the movie. Once you have started playing the movie rental, internet connection is not required. You can play anywhere without internet connection.

    Note: 24 hours time limit is for United States customer only, while 48 hours for other countries.

  • Can you use Apple TV to watch HBO

    Can you use Apple TV to watch HBO

    The problem is the tech dinosaur "DVD" is still the bread and butter money maker for them.  Streaming is getting better but greed is keeping it from blooming.  NetFlix had the price increase because the cost to stream in this case from STARS was ridicoulus. Streaming content in general is not very good from neither NetFlix nor Amazon prime. 
    Looking at NetFlix "New Arrivals" right now.
    OMG!
    Ironclad
    Lodes Kitchen
    The Flinstones
    Saw III
    Starz Play is a little better;
    Toy Story 3
    Secretariat
    Weird Sciecnce
    Father Of The Bride.
    But Starz play is going bye bye. NetFlix got a little boost by signing a deal with Dreamworks, but that is still 2 years away. I really see DVD rentals hanging on for at least 5 more years at current levels.  In general I am very happy with my AppleTV, I am not happy with the issues it so frequently has with NetFlix, and only wish it had more selections for streaming.
    Maybe Oct 4 we get an announcment.

  • HT3819 can i use apple tv to watch a movie that is not in itunes?

    can i use apple tv to watch a movie that is not in itunes?

    That depends on where the movie is.
    If it is on a computer, it must be in iTunes to be able to stream to the ATV.
    If it is from an online streaming service, then it does not need to be in iTunes on the computer.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    A number of people have reported similar issues recently, many appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings or simply resetting them has resolved the matter.
    Check your account details are correct, check that you are using the correct details for Location, Region and Time Zone. You may want to change these settings and then change them back to see if that helps.
    You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account (Settings > iTunes Store > Apple ID’s > Sign Out) and restarting your router. (Some have reported that after doing this, they need to check for rentals even though it may report that there aren’t any, after which rentals once again appear in the ‘movies’ feature)
    Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals.

  • How do you hook up wireless headphones so you can listen to Apple TV and satellite

    Currently I have a direct tv satellite receiver and an Apple TV box.  I'm trying to hook up sony wireless headphones so I can hear both of them.  I watch Netflix on the Apple TV and normal TV viewing on satellite.  I'd like to be able to toggle between the two, and for the life of I cannot figure it out how to wire it up.  I have no issues getting them to work on the satellite receiver, but it's a no go for the Apple TV.
    I have two audio ports on the back of the TV (one red and one white - doesn't specify in or out) and one optical port.
    I also have a port a 3.5mm jack could go into and it says "services"

  • Need to bypass linked apple id and set up as new device

    how to bypass a linked apple id on an ipad mini and set it up as a new device.
    i restored it but its saying "this ipad is currently linked to an apple ID. Sign in with the Apple ID that was used to set up this iPad"
    i do not have that information.. what do i do??

    Hi
    this link will help Find My iPhone Activation Lock - Apple Support
    if you purchased the phone second hand, you need to contact the previous owner and have them enter their apple id & password,
    once the phone is activated then go to settings> iCloud & turn off find my iPhone > then sign out of iCloud > erase all contents & settings
    on setup then you won't be asked for the apple id or password, if its your apple id , and you have forgot the password you can visit applied.apple.com to reset your password, if you have renamed the apple id to something different , it will have to changed back to the one the phone is linked to
    you can alternatively call apple support if you have the original receipt for the phone & they can remove the lock

  • I am considering using I Pad for a presentation and want to use it in a wireless environment and though a projector not a TV monitor. Can I use Apple TV and apple wireless base,

    I am considering using I PAD for a presentation using a projector.  How can this be done.  will Apple TV connect to a projector and if so does the projector have to have an HDMI slot or is there some sort of adapter to convert VGA slot so it connects with Apple TV. I also want to do it wirelessly so does the Apple wireless device work for this purpose, is so what do I need to connect that to the Apple TV  and to projector.  So, ideally I want to be able to operate the IPAD without it being connected to cables and have the image procted on screen using a projector which only has the VGA slot not an HDMI slot. any suggestions will be appreciated.

    It can use Apple Tv, but will require a wireless network as well. The Apple TV has an HDMI output, and depending on the projector it may connect directly to it through HDMI.
    There are adpaters out there that will convert from HDMI to several other types such as VGA or Composite oir RGB. It would not be directly an Apple product as it would work with the HDMI cable rather than the apple TV or iPad directly.
    Basically your setup should be:
    iPad  -> Wifi Network -> Apple TV-- HDMI Cable-->Adapter---->Projector
    If the iPad is iPad 2 or above you can mirror the entire display to the projector through the apple Tv.
    The Adapter would be something like this for instance:
    http://www.amazon.com/Sanoxy-HDMI-Composite-S-Video-Converter/dp/B0047PDBP0
    Or this:
    http://www.amazon.com/ViewHD-Component-Converter-Support-Surround/dp/B004F9XVBC
    With that said there are projectors that can be used wirelessly from the ipad without the need for Apple Tv or any adapter.
    Epson makes one and a proprietary App to use it.
