The $15 is worth the practically flawless experience I have had with this app.

For those interested in an app that has a similar approach to streaming with DLNA supported TVs and Devices, I found this app today:

There’s a Lite version of the app on their site for testing. Don’t get discouraged!
I had it crash a couple times, but I played with the playing progress bar and then it just worked after. It’s early in its infancy but it could be Panasonic Viera TV… who knows?

For some reason, it often stops to buffer then it skips right to the end of the show. When I go to my computer to restart it, it says reconnecting to Apple TV….not sure why it keeps cutting off my connection.

Then I read this snippet from the Beamer homepage:

> Is surround sound supported?
> Not yet. Currently all audio is converted to stereo, we plan to improve audio
> support and quality in future versions.

Womp womp.

This really makes the Apple TV worthwhile.

All my videos only play stereo and I know the files I have tried is either Dolby Digital or DTS!
