As a long term 'geek' my current home setup is woefully inadequate, it consists of one wireless router, one PC, one laptop and two iPhones with with absolutely no cleverness between any of them. This really ought to change.
So to the ubergeeks out there, now is your chance to show off.

• Time capsule as my wifi router, and backup drive
• Unibody MacBook hardwired to the TC which acts as my workhorse. Downloads, transcodes, converts, main media server, etc.
• MacBook air for traveling with, and for doing the more complicated stuff that the iPad isn't able to do. Main comp for my iPad syncing.
• iPad. Casual Internet, email, music. Music, etc. Also used to control the unibody Mac from the comfort of my sofa, (MacBook and TC are in a different room upstairs). Can control the TC, torrents, conversions, file management, etc. pretty much most of my things can be controlled via the iPad.
• Apple TV2. Hooked up to my TV, and is used to 100% of my media stuff. Controlled via remote, iPad, etc.
Job jobbed.
Torrents via MacBook via iPad? Sounds intriguing.• Unibody MacBook hardwired to the TC which acts as my workhorse. Downloads, transcodes, converts, main media server, etc.

How do you find the quality of Apple TV compared to say a decent quality Blu-Ray?
Wow, some very impressive serious on the go, glad I started the thread and some serious food for thought.
One thing I've not seen mentioned, there is no way to stream 'actual' tv is there? As handy as iplayer etc are nothing IMO beats tv coming through an aerial or dish.
Also, as much as we all like ripping/downloading movies the chances are out better halves just want to slip something into their slot....a disc Of course!
Is it possible to conveniently play a disc in a player and have it stream to an iPad or similar?
