For heaven's sake, Craig. Are you just enjoying making ridiculous arguments?
No, but I do enjoy the ridiculous arguments you make...
;-)
How will the devices you listed (wow, all but one are from Apple)
help get video and audio from a computer to a TV? Do you know of TVs
that have built-in iPod Touches? Or TVs that have WiFI enabled
iPhones built in? No? Oh, you mean you need something else at the TV
set?
I was just making a point about installed the installed base of WiFi
devices - Apple is but a small part of this, but the devices I listed
ARE capable of sending audio and video to a $99 Apple TV box that has
an HDMI connector for all the TVs you listed.
I'm saying, EVERY TV sold since 3/1/2007 has had a built-in ATSC
receiver. So figure it out. You need NOTHING extra to get computer
audio and video into a TV, other than a USB dongle at the computer.
And you need nothing extra to get audio and video out of hundreds of
millions of computers, smart phones, etc. than a "dongle" on the TV.
Either way you can get audio and video to the TV. But with Apple's
dongle, or Roku, or others, you ALSO get content from the cloud to
the TV. And it is likely that Apple TV will also become a game
machine and a web browser and it will run many other apps that will
control other things in the home.
So unless YOUR ATSC dongle is dirt cheap, it appears to have VERY
limited functionality.
THis is obvious. Just as obvious as those NTSC modulators made for
things like DVD players, to get the audio and video into TVs that
had no baseband inputs.
As I have said repeatedly, you are living in the past.

Craig
