Can anyone tell me if you need a specific NAS box for it to work with Apple TV 2, or in theory should any NAS box work? I’m asking because im looking at setting this gig up using a NAS dongle, with an external hard drive plugged in to it via built in USB ports on the NAS box! It works out much cheaper too!
- You can't stream straight from a NAS to AppleTV2 without something in between, like a iPad/iPhone/iPod or Mac computer.
The other option is to Jailbreak your AppleTV and install XBMC (see my other videos for a guide).
Make sure the NAS has a built in DLNA server.
