Connect apple tv to DVR or SATELITE BOX?

can I connect my apple tv to my satelite box or to my blue ray player?

Thanks Winston. It was only a cosmetic purpose just because my tv is on the wall and I was traying to avoid more cables going on the wall like a spagheti plate. I presume the same applies to connecting the apple tv through my blue ray

    Perhaps you disturbed or loosened the HDMI or other cable  from the cable box to the TV?

  • My TV has one Hdmi output. Can I use a splitter to connect apple tv and my direct tv DVR

    Can I use an hdmi splitter to connect apple tv and my direct tv DVR? If yes, Any suggestions on a good splitter that doesn't cost too much ($40 at most).

    I would get an HDMI switcher and plug in the ATV directly
    I just posted this as an example, not sure of your location.

  • How to connect Apple TV when I have run out of HDMI Ports?

    I have a Sony Bravia TV with 3 HDMI Ports - in those I have connected:
    - Sony Home Theater Surround Sound
    - Playstation
    - Sky Digital TV HD Box
    Is there a way to connect Apple TV without disconnecting any of the above? (and without buying a new TV with 4 HDMI ports!)

    lkrupp is correct, the only soution is to add what's called an HDMI switch to your setup.  The HDMI switch normally has 2, 4, 6, or 8 HDMI inputs and one output.  The output goes to your display.  You then select which input you want to choose.In your case, you can do one of two things:
    Connect all your sources to the HDMI switch.  You then select sources via the HDMI switch and you no longer need to change HDMI inputs on your TV.
    Disconnect one of the HDMI sources you have (let's say it's the Playstation) and plug both the Playstation and the APPLE TV into the switch.  In this setup you need to change the input on both the TV and the HDMI switcher.
    The simplest setup in your case is to buy a 4 or 8 port HDMI switch and put all your devices on the switch.  If you are looking for inexpensive HDMI switches, you need to look at Monoprice.  The stuff is all manufactured overseas and can be hit or miss but it's the cheapest that you'll find.  If you feel like you need some guidance and help, then try www.hdtvsupply.com.  They have a good selection and great support.

  • How to connect Apple TV (2g) HDMI to HDTV with only component video input.

    Trying to connect Apple TV (2g) HDMI to HDTV with only component video input.  Can I use a simple cable or do I need a converter box/plug? Is the HDMI signal coming from ATV encrypted or HDCP enabled?
    The TV is HD, but only has a component input and not HDMI.  Apple TV 2g only has HDMI output.

    google component hdmi converter
    but they are pretty expensive and may not work at all
    and will not work with any DRM material as in movies you reant and maybe netflix and the sports thingy

  • Connecting Apple TV to router with ethernet cable

    help connecting Apple TV to router with ethernet cable

    The process is transparent. I have done it before.
    Now, it gives me an error message when I try Wi-Fi:
    "There was a problem connecting to the network. Check your settings and try again.(5)"
    When I try the ethernet cable connection it won't let me do automatic or custom.
    I unplugged and replugged the Apple TV box but don't know how else to trouble shoot the lack of connectivity.

  • Connecting Apple TV to iTunes Tip

    After following every bit of info on this forum as well as Apple's solution I still had no luck.
    Finally, I tried unchecking Proxy box in the network settings and it worked!
    I guess for those of you still having trouble connecting Apple Tv to iTunes, just uncheck the Proxy box under network settings.

    I guess you will have to try Apple's solution: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305003

  • Connect Apple Time Capaule with Sony Smart TV

    Hello
    how can i connect time capsule from Sony Smart TV ? I would like to stream videos stored in Time capsule to Sony smart tv which are both connected on same wifi network. I would like to use my iPhone as controller and would like to stream video on Sony Smart TV from Apple time capsule. Please suggest me easy solution other than connecting apple tv. May be a third party iOS app.
    Thanks

    not sure how time capsule works but the Apple TV only connected to a shared itunes lib not to upnp
    if your time capsule works with upnp then an ios device with an upnp (app store are full of free such apps) with
    airplay mirror to an Apple TV would do it
    the fact that your tv is a smart tv is irrelevant in terms of Apple TV it works 100% the same way on a cheap 30" non name tv with a hdmi port as the most einstein'ish tv around
    but if the tv has build in upnp client and the time capsule support upnp it would work out of the box without any apps or appletv's

  • Connecting Panasonic HD TVs to HD Cable box

    I have 2 HD Panasonic TVS. I have tried to connect them to a Verizon 6200 Cable box. This does not have a DVR. When I connect using the HDMI connetion there is no picture or sound. If I connect these TVS to a HD CAble box with multi room DVR they connect.
    I have contacted Panasonic and Verizon and have received little help.

    This post belongs in the FiOS TV Technical Assistance board, but I will reply.
    Need more information on your setup. What is your DVR box model?
    Have you tried the 6200s with component cables? If so do they work?
    Are the 6200 doxes connected directly HDMI to the TV?
    I have heard of issues with HDMI and QIP-6xxx series boxes, and much has been done to resolve these issues with upgrades and changes to the img software. If you must have HDMI and the DVR is the QIP-7xxx series, you may want to see if you can get the QIP-6200 boxes upgraded. But it may be difficult to get both boxes replaced if component cables work.

  • Need help getting Apple Extreme to work with Be box

    Anyone able to give an idiots guide to getting Apple Extreme to work with Be Box wireless modem?
    Used to have Orange (Wanadoo) broadband with Livebox wireless router, which i had my AE wired up to and it worked fine. Signed up with Be* and managed to get their wireless router working and communicating with my Mac OK. When i hooked up AE the green light came on but i can't manage to get my Mac to find it.
    Any help would be very appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hello Orang Hutan. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    What is your connectivity goal for the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn)?
    o Connect it directly to the Be Box wireless router via Ethernet, or
    o Connect it wirelessly to the Be Box's wireless network?
    If it is to go the wireless route, do you want the AEBSn to extend the wireless range of the Be Box?

  • Connecting Apple TV to Comcast Cable...

    I have a new Apple TV and also have comcast cable...also a oder bose lifestyle system (I know its not great sound). When we connect Apple TV to the HDTV via HDMI I no longer have sound out of the lifstyle system since it is connect to the cable box...Can we connect Apple TV to the Cable Box? Or does the bose system need to be connect to the TV so it works with both?..thks

    The Apple TV also has an optical audio out. If the Bose has that kind of input you can connect to it and leave the cable box alone. If the Bose system does not have digital inputs, you can connect cable and ATV2 using HDMI to the TV and then connect the Bose to the TV audio out....

  • How to connect apple tv 2 to pioneer pdp s35

    How do I connect apple tv 2 to pioneer pdp.s35 tv? I connected to one of my pioneer receiver's hdmi ports but when I cycle through the inputs I can't find apple tv.  Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I don't have or indeed know anything about your receiver, but unless the Apple TV can see an active device and connect via HDMI it won't turn on. You will need to set your receiver to use the correct input and then turn on the Apple TV.

  • How to connect apple tv2 to receiver

    Apple tv is connected to tv via hdmi - working perfectly. But i would like to connect apple tv to my receiver as well - for surround sound on movies and for streaming audio from the computer.
    My receiver has 3 optical ports in addition to the DVD coax ( CD, CDR and TV) which one do i use to connect from apple tv  - none seem to work.
    Apple TV set to dolby output.
    receiver digital in is turned on
    No sound from the receiver
    Help!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You need to use one of the optical ports.
    Are you sure they are optical ports.
    Are you sure you are matching the input to the output correctly on the receiver.
    Have you tried adjusting the audio out and Dolby digital settings on the Apple TV.
