When using airfoil you will find that you will have to tweak the audio delay in vlc as it does not sync well with the video its got a lag of a couple of seconds.
I just use a media server for all my video etc and leave my express just for itunes. Well worth the buck if you ask me, actually if you going to buy an express you might just want to buy this.

That will only transfer his audio in low sound quality (FM) you really want to look at the express or the media server I linked you too, I have a similar version and I use it to stream, if you have the 802.11N on your mac you should be good to stream HD to the box alternatively DVD's and other lower bitrate stuff can be streamed at pretty much 802.11G Speeds. Well worth it plus you can use the hard drive to back up but dont quote me on that yet as the guys are working on ftp transfer.

Ok I am after adivce for the best way to get my house system setup. I currently have a macbook and am going to get an imac (waiting for updated version). I want to be able to share all my media between the two (movies in a variety of formats, itunes library & photos) I also want to be able to display all of the above on my lcd tv.
Now I was thinking of doing this by getting an airport extreme base station with an external harddrive attached to this & then apple tv for the lcd. So three questions: 1) will this setup do what i want? 2) is there a cheaper way to acheive this setup? 3) is there a better way to acheive this setup?
Thanks in advance for any replies.

Hi Guys,
Could you help me please with some basic Mac questions? I have a PC at the mo, don tworry have used a MAc before, and I have a hotmail account. Is it possible to use Entourage on a MAC in the same way as Outlook on a PC in order to download/check email without hacing to go to the hotmail website?
Secondly got those that use .mac IE a .mac email account, is it possible to check your .mac email via pop 3 for say a mobile phone/blackberry etc?
Thanks in advance for your help. Jag |

The .mac shouldn't be a problem as i know fatreg has a blackberry and accesses his email without any problems, not sure about the hotmail/entourage as i don't use it.
