Anyone with a WINDOWS computer and a standard wireless network using an Airport Express to send itunes wirelessly to an AV receiver?

I think I want to set this up but have some questions.

 

Yes I do. I'm going to buy another one shortly for a second room. Wires are so 5 years ago.

 

I do so with an Airport Extreme.

 

Thx guys. Got it up and running. It's great. Will load XBMC on it soon.

 

My expresses collect dust now.

I use my apple tv, much nicer interface.

 

I meant I got Apple TV up and running and it rocks.

 

trees...cacti

express.....tv

 

Madmen looks WAY better on my 52" than my 24" monitors...

Just finishing up season 2...

Handbrake is pretty easy to get AVI to Mp4. May not even need XBMC.

 

If you want to sell one, preferable a draft -n one let me know.

 

AppleTV is rather popular, and I put them in quite a few systems. Can anyone explain why they decided to remove the analog audio outputs from the new AppleTV's? While I just purchase digital to analog convertors for jobs that require me to hook up an AppleTV to multi-zone systems, it is not ideal. We are adding another device to the mix that can have issues, and I have experienced this a couple times with the convertors going belly up. Was it a cost thing or just another instance of Apple trying to take control out of its customers hands.

 

Dougler. I migh be down for that. I can't remeber if they are -n or not.

Audi. I think a couple reasons. First being size. Keeping the unit as small as it is now. Second being people buying these are doing so mainly for home theaters. So analog isn't even wanted for most applications.

 

Considering Apple doesn't have any branded components down in the chain, I doubt the removal of analog was any sort of control play. As Dave mentioned, Apple is all about compact design. One less thing to worry about.

I'm surprised to hear you're still doing analog installs? That shocks me a bit. Considering most any receiver sold today has an HDMI switch and all TVs come with them... Unless it's legacy hardware, red, white and yellow cords are dead.

 

As I said, the issue is with multi-zone audio. Home theater receivers do not pass digital signal to zone 2. These receivers require a seperate analog audio feed for each source that is to be played in zone 2. It is also an issue for most, if not all distributed audio system that also require an analog feed.
