I figured that about the cable. Yeah, we're taking it back tomorrow. I was able to try AirPlay last night. I can send audio from my iPhone and iPad to the TV via AppleTV, but not video. Even videos on the iPhone and iPad that I ripped from DVDs, which will stream fine from my laptop thru Home Sharing, run into the same HDCP issue when trying to use AirPlay for them. Gaaah. My HDTV is six years old. Might it be too old for whatever AppleTV is trying to get from it, permissions-wise? Or do you suppose it just has a bad pair of HDMI connections? This sucks. I love everything about it but I can't afford to get a whole new TV just so this $99 thing will work! --Van
