Hello,
I am very interested in using XBMC on an iPad, as I have heard that many people have had great success doing what I would like with XBMC on their Apple TV. The catch is, my Apple TV is the ATV3 model.
My main usage would be for on demand (or catch up TV services), not really streaming from my own server (mainly because that said server is an Arm based NAS and I don't think there is an XBMC server for it)
Would the iPad XBMC be able to do the following this.
1) Airplay at full screen over to my ATV3 (non jailbroken)
2) Do I need to have a separate XBMC server on a computer? (I would hope not, since I don't want to leave that on when I use the iPad)
3) Work with the following On Demand services (I know these can be installed onto the Apple TV XBMC server so is this automatically the case for the iPad one?)
UK Television
BBC iPlayer
ITV
4oD
5 on Demand
NZ Television
TVNZ On demand
TV3
IrishTelevision
RTE
TV3
Australian TV
ABC iView
SBS On Demand
7, 9 and 10
I have VPN's for all of these (one of the advantages I think of using the iPad as it is very easy to switch VPN's)
So, if Airplay works to an unjailbroken ATV3, is it possible to add these services to the iPad's XBMC?
