I want to store films on an external hard drive and play them from the ATV2. My wireless is sometimes dodgy so I'd prefer to connect it by wire but the router is in another room.
Can I connect it directly to the ATV2 by ethernet?
Do I need a switch?
If I can do either of the above can I put content on the hard drive from my laptop over wifi or will I need to get a second router to wire the hard drive and ATV2 and connect to wifi to make the hard drive accessible?
Thanks
