One nearly free alternative to buying an Apple TV
Authored by: LV on Oct 24, '07 02:30:11PM

I've been doing the same thing with my PowerBook G4 for quite some time now. The only difference is I use video mirroring enabled in System Preferences/Displays. That way what you see on your screen shows up on your TV. I don't use Front Row but I don't see why this wouldn't work. I always use DVD Player but with this setup you can use any application and it will be mirrored in your TV. I also happen to have an Ethernet disk with content on it so all I have to do is connect to that disk through Airport and I can stream whatever I like. And, since it's a PowerBook it's easy enough to set it up next to the TV when I want to watch something.
