No - really needs to be stand alone. I did consider that, but then everyone wants my phone when they want to watch something. Same problem with hooking up my phone via an HDMI adaptor. Have you looked into Roku? Again, I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for, but Roku is pretty great. I've got a NAS at home (FreeNaS bought from iXsystems), which offers the PlexMediaServer as a plug in. You put all your local content on the NAS and push it through the Roku to your television. That's all I use it for, since here in Senegal most of the good "channels" aren't available to me due to IP address or due to wimpy bandwidth. But the Roku has a ton of channels on offer as well. Check into it to see which ones you want. Offhand I don't think the BBC iplayer is one of them. I did some research before settling on the NAS+Roku with Plex solution, and it seems a lot of Apple TV people aren't feeling overly thrilled with it. |
