Having to pay for all those adverts and supporting Murdoch can't be easy.. You'll thank me. :-) Easy then, throw out the Sky Box!

I'd actually like only one device under the TV, although I have two (sky+ and the minimac) swapping the minimac out for a appleTV plus a seperate DVD player would work, but I'd still rather just have a nice simple setup.. DVD is a dying format, but unfortunately stuff still comes on DVD and you need a player, unless you're happy to encode and store. The <a href=http://www.elgato.com/index.php?file=products_turbo264 rel="nofollow">Elgato turbo 264</a> does look good.. I'll have a check on it.. I might have to pop round and look at your appleTV ;) Jim, yes your right in some respects… I’d actually like only one device under the TV, although I have two (sky+ and the minimac) swapping the minimac out for a appleTV plus a seperate DVD player would work, but I’d still rather just have a nice simple setup..

You can get a nice upscaling one for less than £50 now and the dvd format is on borrowed time anyway. I love my apple tv just for the MythBusters, South Park and Paddling/Snowboarding video device I use it as. I'm really glad Apple didn't include a dvd player, as that would make it the 5th device under my telly to do so. I also use an Elgato turbo 264 to help speed the encoding along.
