Hi there. Thank you so very much for the response! Actually, we had already enabled homesharing and were able to see our music, but for some reason the movies were not available. Strangely enough though, after my husband converted another movie to the appropriate format and added it to our library, all of the other movies suddenly showed up. We have no idea what happened there, but I suppose I won't sweat it so long as it works. :-) So now we have our family library setup on a desktop with all of our movies and music, able to stream to the Apple TV, iPods or iPhones. I have a feeling this little device will more than pay for itself in short order. <grin> Thank you again!
