Apple Cans iOS Chief, Retail Chief

I think so, not sure if it's 720 or 1080 though.

I think it depends on the version of AppleTV that you have. The older ones only support 720p.

yes I know,they should call it airplayforapplerpoductsonly

also does airplay stream HD video wirelessly?

The AppleTV 3 outputs 1080p video and if you have a Sandy or Ivy Bridge Mac (maybe gen 1 Core i as well) you can also use your AppleTV & TV as a wireless display. I have a Core 2, so I can't test it, so I'm not sure if it is just mirroring or not.

Yes, it is more or less the same as Widi or Miracast or whatever it is called. But it just works, out of the box, with almost no configuration (I think it is on by default). You get on the same wifi network, you press the airplay button, and then sent the stream wherever you like. You can get an Airport Express (that they have been making for something like... 7 years or more) and send your music wirelessly to your stereo. That feature used to be called AirTunes, but they bundled that into the AirPlay protocol.

On my samsung gs3 i can wirelessly send movies to my tv and music to my reciever threw dlna and the devices dont need to be connected to any network threw wifi.

I walk into the room and my cell tells me it found a few dlna devices and asked if i want to grant them access and i can go threw my movies and mudic threw my tvs remote or use my cell to tell it what to play on the screen.

Its pretty sick and we have 2 panasonic plasmas and i pushed the cell to tge max the other day.i was streaming 2 1080p video clips i took from vegas with one on each tv and i was using my cell to surf the net like normal and it was running smooth.

Edit wifi is turned on but not connected to the internet router.the phone just connects to them likeva media player

Are you posting these messages from your phone? Or are you maybe typing blind on a dvorak? Or perhaps is English not your first language? I am trying to give you a little benefit of the doubt.

I don't see a huge difference between being on the wireless network or not. If I am at home, my phone is on wifi, because why wouldn't it be? What steps did you go through to initially get your phone to work with your receiver, and how much did your receiver cost?

Im on my cell and ruuning a ported jellybean browser and when i use the quick responce it blacks out what im typing.

Most home audio and video gear have had dlna for about 3-4 years now so your stuff you already have might support it.

Any new reciever you buy today will have dlna playback and they can be had for about 350-400

A: Given how much praise you heap on your phone, I find the spelling & grammar mistakes to be incredibly ironic.

B: You didn't answer about how difficult it is to setup. Like I said, IIRC Airplay is on by default on the AppleTV, as soon as you connect the network, the button appears. In the event that it isn't enabled on the aTV, it takes about 10 seconds to do so.

C: Or I get an AppleTV for $99. Can all Android devices connect to all DLNA enabled devices?

Just to be clear, questions I ask are not intended to be gotchas. I can't afford to try every platform with all these different options, so I ask questions that are colored by my own experiences and needs. I have an iPhone because a friend sold it to me cheap, I have an iPad because it was a gift, and I have an AppleTV because iDevices are like Voltron, oh, and it uses like 5w or less and so is an incredibly low power nteflix device. Has probably almost paid for itself in power savings at this point.

A.my native launguage is greek and i have spell check off
B.its very easy you just walk into a room where dlna devices are enable and if you have the dlba togle on you connect in about 3 seconds.
C.pretty sure most do as my droid x from 3 years ago had it.

A: Ah, I had asked before if that was the case.

B: Ok, so if I go out and buy a DLNA capable device, and plug it in, it is automatically, with no further intervention from me, ready to be used as something that I could send audio/video to from my other DLNA devices?

Yes its very simple.I will make a video over the weekend!
