Hi Adam
Sorry I missed this when it came in. I’d be guessing if I gave specific answers
I’m afraid. Macs used to be able to set up a local network but I haven’t done
it for years, don’t know if iPad can do it.
Thanks,
-Jason

Thanks, Jason. I really appreciate you replying.
Do you know/think that the Apple adaptor has the 'passport' too, which
might work on older TVs?
I like your Apple TV idea - but am I right in thinking the only way to
connect to Apple TV from iPad/iPhone is by WiFi? (and then from ATV to TV
by hdmi?) It's just the apartment doesn't have WiFi!
Any further thoughts appreciated!
All told, I suspect we'll just enjoy the hit and miss and see what happens,
whilst sharing stories with the children of our holidays which were without
- shock horror - any screened entertainment whatsoever! To be fair, we also
quite like an excuse to gather round a family movie all together....
TTFN
Adam
