I'd be very grateful for any advice on this.
I am basically looking for a simple way to watch video and streamed content (from my laptop PC and iPad) on my TV. At the moment I can only do this by hooking the laptop to the TV via a VGA cable, which is unsightly and doesn't really give a very good picture. I have not got a way of connecting the iPad to the TV at the moment.
Apple TV (which I came across today by accident) seems like an interesting proposition. It would certainly nail the iPad/TV side of things. But it also looks quite pricey.
Any experience / views / opinions?
