Stream TV/Satellite to MacBook Pro?

I am interested in streaming TV/Satellite channels to my MacBook pro to broadcast them and I am wondering what cables or components I need to get the signal IN to the Macbook.
Thanks in advance

Not really. Most topics are about going from a Mac to a TV. I want to go from a TV to a MAC>

  • I recently purchased an Onkyo stereo receiver with a wireless USB adapter, UWF-1, and want to stream audio from my MacBook Pro through my stereo system. The receiver tells me it is connected to my wireless LAN, but I cannot get music to play?

    New to the community here, thanks for your patience.  I recently purchased an Onkyo TX-8050 Network Stereo Receiver with the UWF-1 USB adapter with the intent to stream audio from my MacBook Pro to the stereo. I have gone through the setup instructions for the adapter and the receiver gives me a message saying that it is connected to the password protected network, but that is as far as I can get.
    I have gone into iTunes and clicked on the "Open Stream" option, but I just get a pop up box labeled "URL" that is empty. I have Home Sharing turned on and File Sharing turned on, but I am not seeing the receiver in my Finder window or as a iTunes device.
    I would appreciate any and all advice and assistance.
    Thanks so much.

    So I have been searching the iStore for Airplay and I find lots of information about what it is, but nothing about how much it costs, how/where to buy it, etc.?
    Fortunately, AirPlay does not cost anything as it is a streaming protocol used by Apple. Currently, the AirPort Express and Apple TV are AirPlay-ready. A number of other companies, like JBL, iHome, Denon and Klipsch are also rumored to be working on AirPlay versions of their products.
    Your other option would be to get an AirPort Express and connect it to your Onkyo analog or optical digital audio input and stream from iTunes that way. I currently do this with my 10+ year old Harmon Kardon HT receiver.

    Sorry, I don't quite understand your question. Amongst other things that's exactly what the Apple TV does, is streaming video from a computer.

    You will need an application like Airfoil for Mac to be able to stream any audio files on your computer to the AirPort Express.

    No you don't need to use AirPlay from the computer to AppleTV.
    Just use the AppleTV as you would with wifi. Everything is controlled from the AppleTV.

  • IPhone photo stream photos import to macbook Pro but photos in albums on the same phone do not?

    iPhone photo stream photos import to macbook Pro but photos in albums on the same phone do not?
    When I connected my iPhone to the MB-Pro and imported the photos, all the ones on the phone in "the photo stream" came in fine,
    But I have 4 "albums" containing different photos. How do I get those photos into iPhoto ... short of emailing them to myself?

    When you connect your iPhone to the computer and import, all photos in the camera roll will be imported, but not the photos in other albums, for example, albums that have been synced to your iPhone. Sp, to import other photos from synced albums, you have to save these photos to the camera roll or use iTunes Photo Sharing.
    See this document - the section on "Importing Photos to your Computer":  iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes

  • How can i stream media wirelessly from macbook pro ? video...

    how can i stream media wirelessly from macbook pro mountain lion to dynex bluray player or insignia mhl tv? i also have a time capsule...

    most reliable method found is get an AppleTV hooked to TV, and get program called BEAMER (free trial or $15 purchase application).     Lots of programs CAN stream to TV via wifi, but many of them get audio syncing wrong/bad.   Best addition upgrade to any Apple PC or laptop isnt internal, but the AppleTV     BEAMER app is the best Apple/Mac app out there to me, ...  Ive got 7 Terabytes of Videos, ...the Beamer app takes in any video format, its just incredible.

  • When I am listening to the radio (streaming through itunes) my macbook pro will log me out, quitting all the applications I have running (often firefox, word processing, itunes, etc). Why?

    When I am listening to the radio (streaming through itunes) my macbook pro will log me out, quitting all the applications I have running (often firefox, word processing, itunes, etc). Why?
    It's very frustrating and I don't understand why it happens. It might happen other times, but I notice it the most when I'm streaming the radio through itunes, though I think it's also happened when I'm streaming music or shows from NPR, so I don't actually know if it's an itunes thing, or an internet thing? Or just my computer being stupid?  But how can I fix it?
    Thanks!

    My best guess at this point is a problem wwith 10.5.8
    It seems clear to me that sometimes, seemingly randomly, software will access the video card (flash player, quicktime, Safari's HTML5 video player, etc) and it will cause a freeze and then log out.
    However - it could just be video card + processor under load.
    This didnt happen before 10.5.8 and I'm thinking it's not the new 27" display causing the issue.
    I'm going to attempt to find time to revert back to 10.5.0 and then combo update back up to 10.5.7 which may be difficult as our IT is remote and we don't have access to Snow Leopard discs.
    I may just have to bring my own in.

  • When instant streaming Netflix on my Macbook Pro, the sound is very very low even when sound controls are set at highest level.

    When instant streaming Netflix on my Macbook Pro, the sound is very very low even when sound controls are set at highest level.  I do not have this problem when listening to TV or watching movies streamed from DishNetwork.  I contacted Netflix and they had me install a newer version of their software Silverlight... this did nothing to resolve the issue.  They were not familiar with the issue.

    Well if your on 10.6.2, you need to software update to 10.6.8
    Perhaps you need to adjust the Silverlight (Microsoft DRM video plug-in) sound level itself too
    Run a check here to see if your current on your Silverlight (works for all browsers)
    https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
    Use another browser like Firefox and see if it continues.
    Try another video file. They all have their own sound levels too.

  • Sound loss streaming to atv2 from Macbook Pro

    Hi all, im hoping someone can help.
    I have various movies on my macbook pro running OS X 10.6.8 of various sizes, it seems that anything under 1gig in size streams to my ATV2 fine, sound and picture, but anything over 1gig the picture streams fine but the sound just buzzes loudly.  I have BT infinity with the standard router and modem they give, streaming wirelessly from the macbook to the ATV2, the ATV is hooked up to the internet via ethernet.
    Has anyone come across this?  Im hoping its a quick fix and just some setting that needs changing.  Ive searched the net various times but they just seem to deal with trying to stream dolby sound or picture issues.
    Thanks in advance for any guidance!

    No one??

  • HT4437 Can't stream from iPad or Macbook Pro to Apple TV

    I can't stream video or audio from my Macbook Pro or iPad to Apple TV. It used to work but I haven't used Apple TV with my iPad or Macbook for several months. Software for the Macbook Pro, Apple TV and iPad is current and all 3 devices are logged onto the same WiFi. Home Sharing is enabled. All 3 devices are logged into iTunes with the same Apple ID. Airplay does not appear in Control Center on my iPad and I do not get the Airplay symbol on the computer or iPad when using iTunes or any other app. I tried restarting the Apple TV and even restoring factory defaults. What am I missing?

  • Stream Bluetooth Audio to Macbook Pro

    Hey All,
    Hopefully one or more of the mac faithful on here can help me accomplish what I'm looking to do. I need to get this up and running by next weekend so time is of the essence!
    Essentially, I want to transmit audio from my home stereo receiver (I have a Bluetooth audio transmitter hooked up for this purpose but it's designed to stream to bluetooth A2DP headphones) to my macbook pro and have it play on my macbook pro.
    The macbook pro model i have is this one: MacBook Pro (Late 2007, 2.4/2.2GHz) - Technical Specifications, and i don't have any additional audio or bluetooth software other than what came stock with the computer.
    TIA!

    I got that to work... by running Windows XP in VMWare, using an external bluetooth adapter, and installing the WIDCOMM software from Broadcom. I would very much like this functionality in OS X too, since Im regularly connecting my MBP to my stereo, and I have an Android phone with no built-in AirPlay support.
    It would be perfect if I could select an A2DP source as audio input in the Sounds preferences pane..
