You will be allright with the 32. I would expect the BV8 40 to be more expensive since it will have more features, i.e. 2 HDMI and maybe surround as it was rumored earlier. The only thing that would have made me rethink my decision would have been a BV7 32 with integrated BS3 which is not going to happen. Cheers JK

http://www.macrumors.com/ Besides updated Ipods, they mention Itunes 8 and "Genius" functionality which suggest songs that go great together. I am hoping the will no beat B&O to the punch with this when BS5 comes. I would really wish for them to be one step ahead and get the attention. Cheers K

That is in the menu of the TV. You link Source and connection and potentially external IR together. It is fairly simple. I use TV for my Apple TV, DTV for my Wii (I think havent used it in ages) and DVD for my BC2. Cheers JK

For the NAS question. I have this setup. The ATV needs to be paired with a computer running itunes. If Itunes can "see" a movie, it can allow the ATV to play it. So yes, Itunes needs to be running somewhere. There are a few hacks available that would allow the ATV to connect straight to the NAS and play the movie from there, but I havent played

TV in this case is just a source, I have linked it to my Apple TV I think.. So yes it should be linked to one of the AV connections, preferable where you have your cable tuner since this is supposed to be used rather then an internal tuner. Cheers JK

I am using an older version of handbrake. One DVD with poor quality takes little less or more then 40 minutes. No 5.1 though, 1000 default rate. Quality is poor but file is around 1GB and I can watch the movies on my ipod as well. Cheers JK

I think that is described in the wiring diagram that I am linking to. Only thing is, you do not mention black which it has. Cheers JK

I second layer cake which I saw last weekend. I also saw Woody Allen's Vicky Christina Barcelona which I thought was hilarious. JK

The Apple TV has no full operation system on it. So to start you would have to hack it and install Leopard or Tiger or something on it. Then Itunes and Frontrow or the ATV application. I am not convinced though that Beoport would control the ATV application. http://www.macgeekblog.com/blog/archive/2008/03/25/atv4mac-1-2-available-2.html I am assuming
