Puncher:

Most new TV's with internet connectivity will play iPlayer direct from the TV, certainly my Panny G20 does and it's a couple of years old now. Also, as an aside, I believe the iPlayer and the ITV equivalents are coming very shortly to Sky Anytime+ (as well as a pay on demand movie service).

They are, but it's much easier controlling and setting up with your iPhone! Using iPlayer and searching for your content, isn't easy from a remote. With your iPhone/iPad, you just type in search string, select a result, play.

Plus you can push ANY video or audio content via your Apple TV from your iPhone/iPad. Never realised how good it was until this weekend. So easy.

And these forums are about anything we use with our B&O equipment. So very relevant.

The Apple TV device is superb.

I agree.

I figured that you can watch BBC iPlayer content via your TV, through your iPhone/Apple TV.

Yes you can.

And what we have been doing more of lately is accessing our PLEX library via the Plex App on the iPad and pushing the content that way to the ATV2.

This magazine's youtube shows a nice demo of the interface ...

Yeah, and I bet they embed the Apple TV in to their forthcoming TV proper.

The Apple TV device is superb. I figured that you can watch BBC iPlayer content via your TV, through your iPhone/Apple TV. Simply launch the iPlayer app on your iPhone, use AirPlay to push it through the Apple TV and it works fairly flawlessly. You can control your Apple TV via the phone, too, using Remote.
