Hi, I just bought a mac mini and connected it to our HDTV with a HDMI cable. I used screen sharing from my Mac Pro to control the mini. All that seemed to work fine.
I have a Netgear router with both 5-GHz and 2.4-GHz radios. I tried to watch an episode of The Closer (and then a few other shows) but nothing even started to play. Is this not possible via wireless? That seems hard to believe. My Sony Bluray player can stream 1080p stuff from Netflix. Why can't I watch a show from a network's web site? It works fine on my Mac Pro which has a wired connection to the router. I tried both the 5-GHz and 2.4-GHz settings and neither worked. I was able to play videos that were on the mini's hard drive and a video on the Apple web site, but not any of the TV videos I tried. If there is not enough bandwidth for the best picture, why don't they drop to a lower resolution or at least offer me a choice. I just get nothing happening when I click on the video link, as if I did not even click. I don't even get the spinning beach ball. I also tried this on a MacBook Air and again could not get anywhere. Am I doing something wrong? If not, why won't this work?
