NAS for Sonos & Apple TV

[admin_exported]

I have Sonos 3 which I am very happy with, I also have a Mac Book Pro and Apple TV (1). The mac Book Pro is running out of Disk space and I want to move data (Musci and video) to a NAS. I want to be able to listen to the SONOS without the MAcBook being booted up. I would also like to have the Apple TV Video stored on the NAS. I have a fairly large library of films which I would want to be able to click somewhere on to transfer them to Apple TV form the NAS rather then store them on the Mac Book

Any recommendations?

I was looking at QNAP but it looks a bit expensive compared to other NAS - Is the QNAP worth the investment?

Thanks

I don't think Apple TV can read & play off a NAS.

It will if you are happy to jailbreak. Firecore is excelent.

Looks very interesting! Will the functionality retain after software updates?

It depends on your requirements (& if you will be using all the features). I've been mulling over Synology vs QNAP myself.

Thanks what will jailbreaking do?

For example will I be able to still rent movies from ITunes?

Excuse my ignorance BTW

Yes, you will still be able to rent movies from iTunes. All of Apple TV's functionality is retained, & some extra features are added.

Check this.
