The Raspberry Pi running XBMC Media Center or similar has a huge advantage over
the Apple TV, its open source meaning that its not restricted in any way as the
Apple TV is.
Now since you've got an Apple TV I suppose we may as well do some trouble
shooting, how do you have the device connected
You pay for items you purchase from the iTunes store, rental movies etc, Apple
TV will warn you before any payment is required.
Its best that you have an iTunes account or ID, that will give you more control
over the device.

Well it may be a more expensive solution but I have never ever had a

I use an apple airport express as the airplay device and patch the audio

Its expensive but worth it and I do feel it sounds quite a bit better
then most of the bose stereo systems.
Bose is only now just starting to come out with systems to try and
compete with sonos but they are sorely lacking right now and
It was good that Sonos came into the game, just in time to give everything a
good shakeup and the industry certainly needed one.
I've not tried Sonos myself but I do read about the good review the products

As for Bose sounding good? Well let's be honest about this, Bose are only in

for those who use Sonos equipment can you please tell me if their

Any comments welcome. Thanks!

I understand from friends of mine who use Sonos that the IOS Apps are in the
main accessible, I don't know why people keep going on about how accessible IOS
Apps are or aren't because accessibility is actually built into IOS thus its
most likely that 95% of apps therefore will be accessible or
Whilst, in theory, this is true, there are still thousands of apps out there
which are definitely not accessible and, therefore, being able to discover
whether one is or is not accessible before paying out cash for a hardware
product for which the use of an app is essential, is pretty important.
I'm not going to debate that on this list as it would be off topic smile but

Please explain more what you mean. The Apple TV is an input to your regular TV
so it does not interfere with what you watch on your regular TV. The Apple

channels directly. However, I'm not sure I answered your
Gary,
My response last night got stuck so is late, but the Apple TV shouldn't affect
cable at all, it doesn't generally even use the same connections unless you're
using an HDMI cable from your cable box. Please explain more about your setup.

This is an issue for codes like that. You can back out of the dialog and
