View Full Version : Connect to AppleTV across the internet
(another home)?  Jun 8, 2008, 11:40 AM In an attempt to get my
in-laws into the 21st century, I wanted to get them an AppleTV.
They don't have a computer yet, but I was hoping it would be
possible to connect to a remote AppleTV across the internet.
Basically, I would have them sign up for internet service,
connect an AppleTV to a configurable router or directly to the
cable modem, and then find a way to make my iTunes connect
across the internet to their AppleTV and sync music, photos, and
movies so they can watch it whenever they want.  Short of
setting up a VPN (if that's even feasible), is there a simpler
way of doing it?  Jun 8, 2008, 12:44 PM I doubt you can get that
to work, but you could simply sync the AppleTV from your
computer periodically, then let it run without the network at
their house. Unless they were going to rent movies, they
wouldn't need the internet connect at all.  Jun 8, 2008, 12:48
