Cheaper way to stream to my HDMI tv without apple tv?

Anyone know a cheaper option for streaming tv video and music from my mac to a TV in another room it is not connected to?
I currently stream to one tv with a mac mini connected or to my macbook.
I have just purchased a new tv but cant afford apple tv just now so there is nothing apple connected directly to it.
Are there device that would enable me to do this or can i do it with a Playstation 3 (I know could if had X Box).
Thanks

Hi Scotties123 - did you manage to solve this? I have the same problem :(

  • I have an external server that stores all my movies and music, is there a way to stream it to my apple tv? If not is there a way I can link the folders to itunes (without downloading files to computer) and will that make them view-able for the apple TV?

    If none of that works is there a way to get it working alternativly?
    Additional Information:
    Everything is linked via ethernet cable.
    I'm using a PC to set it up.
    If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I'll help where I can.
    Thank you for any help

    (I think the daughter got he better end of the deal!)   I believe if you change the password and user id one of the devices it will stop that from occurring. But I'm not the one to tell you how to do it; someone like "Illaass" (Illaass seems to know how to correct / fix almost anything!) will know how if you don't. Just look for the "cat" icon.

  • I share a photo stream with a family member. Is there a way to make it so we have separate photo stream but still use the same apple id?

    i share a photo stream with a family member. Is there a way to make it so we have separate photo stream but still use the same apple id?

    You'll want a separate iCloud account for each user in addition to the main Apple ID used for purchases.
    Let's say you have a family of four (husband, wife, and two children). Here is what you will need:
    Main Apple ID for shared purchases in Tunes (everybody will be using this)
    iCloud (Apple ID) account for husband
    iCloud (Apple ID) account for wife
    iCloud (Apple ID) account for child 1
    iCloud (Apple ID) account for child 2
    Yes, you can have both an Apple ID and iCloud account setup on the same device. On each iOS device, setup the main Apple ID account for the following services:
    iCloud (Photo Stream and Backup are the only items selected here).
    Music Home Sharing
    Video Home Sharing
    Photo Stream
    Additionally, on each iOS device, add a new iCloud account (Under Mail, Contacts, Calendar) that is unique to each user for the following services:
    Mail (if using @me.com)
    Contacts
    Calendars
    Reminders
    Bookmarks
    Notes
    Find My iPhone
    Messages
    Find Friends
    FaceTime
    On your individual Macs (or Mac accounts), use the main Apple ID in iTunes. Then, use the unique iCloud account in/for iCloud.
    Now that everbody is using separate iCloud accounts for your contacts, calendars, and other things, it will be all be kept separate.
    The only thing that is now 'shared' would be iTunes content (apps and other purchases), backups via iCloud (if enabled), and Photo Stream (if enabled).

  • HT201343 Is there a way to stream video from one iOS device to another?

    My family and I are going on an extended vacation and we want to make sure the kids have enough videos to keep them busy on very long flights. I'm taking my MacBook Pro and was wondering if there's a way to stream video our different iOS devices without preloading movies on every device.

    If the MBP was connected to inflight WiFi like Gogo it might be possible. Then you use the MBP as a hotspot using internet sharing. The iOS devices connect to the MBP.  I'm not sure if Its allowed in flight but give it a try.

  • Is there any way to stream FROM my Apple TV TO my iPad?

    Is there any way to stream FROM my Apple TV TO my iPad? I know I can stream from the pad to the TV, but I haven't seen anything that lets me do it vice-versa. I want to stream while my computer is off/asleep. I don't want to keep my computer awake all the time simply to be prepared for the random moment when I want to watch a movie but I'm not in a position to go turn on my computer and turn on iTunes. If my Apple TV could stream the movies and music, that would suit my needs, but it looks like that feature isn't available. Does anyone know how to work around it using either Apple or 3rd-party software/hardware?

    You can use Apples Remote app to stream any macs iTunes library to ATV1 but only second gen ATV,s are capable of streaming direct from iOS devices.

  • What is the best way to stream sports with Apple TV

    What is the best way to stream sports with apple TV

    Your question is a little too broad. Hard to know what sports you are talking about.
    If you have a newer Mac, you can use airplay to mirror anything on your Mac to your apple tv. Or use the ESPN app.
    But a lot of sports just can't be streamed as they are available, though I bet this year sees a lot of new livestreams on sports on YouTube or Ustream.

  • Does anyone know a way to stream audio from Snow Leopard to a PPC running Panther?

    I have recently aquired a iMac PPC, I've freshly installed Panther on it and it runs a treat. I was wondering however if there is a way to stream audio from my main Desktop, a 2007 iMac running Snow Leopard. iTunes library share isn't a solution either as I use Spotify a my main source of music and unfortunetly it is no longer supported for PPC's.
    Thanks, Tim

    Unfortunately I could get neither of these to work, probably because of my own ineptitude.
    I couldn't get VLC to output from Spotify, this could be my own fault.
    I also couldn't make Airplay play with OS X 10.3.9.
    I did however find a messy workaround.
    I am currently using Airfoil on my main Desktop to output Spotify and then am receiving it on Airfoil Speaker on my iPhone, which is in turn connected to my 10.3.9 iMacs audio input via a 3.5mm Jack.
    You need to download an app called LineIn for 10.3 (http://www.rogueamoeba.com/legacy/) to play the sound from the input from the built in speakers.
    To be fair it's not that messy it just requires you to have a device that can have Airfoil Speakers installed on it and have a 3.5mm Jack.

  • HT201317 Is there a way to "stream" older photo's to my PC stored on my Iphone before I upset up "Photo Stream?  NOTE:  My Photo Stream "pushing function is working, but I can only push "new" photos to my PC.

    Is there a way to stream  "older" photos to my PC that were stored on my Iphone before I implemented "Photo Stream?  NOTE:  My Photo Stream "pushing" function is working, but I can only push "new" photos to my PC.

    It might not be streaming but have you considered copying the photos directly off the iphone onto your PC?  I plug my phone in via the USB cable like usual and in Windows Explorer, navigate to Computer\Apple iPhone\Internal Storage\DCIM\860xxxx  and there they are. Copy & paste and you have pictures.
    Hope it helps.

  • Whats the best way to stream videos?

    whats the best way to stream video thru plumtree portal?What all it requires? (technology/application/server/plumtree development?)

    Hello Kuljit,
    For the windows platform you could set up Windows Media services. It can be configured to play all sorts of media files. I created a "radio station" portlet that multiple channels and from the portal I could select a drop down and the station would play that stream. I would make sure that media services are not being gatewayed and that anyone that can see your portal can see the videos. Here is my html that I made a portlet out of: This will not show the video window. You can increase the size of the object to show the video window with controls. Check out MSDN online for configuration of the <object>
    <FORM NAME="streamForm"> <INPUT NAME="btnPlay" TYPE="Button" VALUE="Play" onclick="MediaPlayer1.controls.Play();"> <INPUT NAME="btnStop" TYPE="Button" VALUE="Stop" onclick="MediaPlayer1.controls.stop();"> <select name="musicGroup" onChange="changeStream()"> <option value="">-- Select --</option> <option value="barenakedladies">Barenaked Ladies</option> <option value="pinkfloyd">Pink Floyd</option> </select> </FORM>
    <OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:6BF52A52-394A-11D3-B153-00C04F79FAA6" ID="MediaPlayer1" height="0" width="00"> <PARAM NAME="Name" VALUE="MediaPlayer1"> <param name="uiMode" value="invisible"> <PARAM NAME="TransparentAtStart" Value="true"> <PARAM NAME="AutoStart" Value="true"> <PARAM NAME="AnimationatStart" Value="false"> <PARAM NAME="ShowControls" VALUE="0"> <PARAM NAME="autoSize" Value="false"> <PARAM NAME="displaySize" Value="0"></OBJECT><script language="javascript">function changeStream(){ df = document.streamForm; if(df.musicGroup.selectedIndex != 0) {  MediaPlayer1.url = "mms://MBRUCELT-W3k/"+df.musicGroup[df.musicGroup.selectedIndex].value; } }</script>
    This works for the latest version of Window Media Player. The mms:// in my script is a call to Windows Media Services. That is the part that should be accessible from outside the portal.

  • Is there a way to stream my macbook pro audio through itunes to basestation

    Hey I love to stream my itunes through the basestation but, is there a way to stream my macbook pros audio so I can hear things playing from my safari or final cut or whatever other program to the speakers in airport??? Thanks

    Rogue Amoeba's Airfoil should do just what you want. I use if for streaming things like Slacker and Pandora through my Airport Express. It's not free but it's well worth the price. You can try it out for a few minutes (then the sound degrades) to see if it works for you.

    Try opening this link on your phone: http://m.youtube.com/#/user/coachella?client=mv-google&reload=3&rdm=m2075q4mp. It doesnt work on the Macbook but it works on my phone..
    FYI the resolution / quality when airplaying from iPhone to Apple TV was atrocious!
    if you figure out how to get it going good on the Apple TV let me know!

  • My iphone 4s is not connecting to wifi because the wifi chip is burned so i went to the apple store and they could only replace the iphone for $199 any cheaper ways?

    is there any cheap way to fix a burnt wifi chip on iphone 4s ios 7.1?

    No. How do you know the wifi chip is burned? If you or someone other than
    Apple opened the iPhone to inspect the chips, the warranty was voided. Be
    glad Apple is offering you a chance at an Out of Warranty replacement as
    that was lost when the iPhone was opened.
    Apple does not repair iPhones, but replaces them with another unit.
