But doesn't use it to back up to the cloud just as DNLA AFAIK. You could get a raspberry pi, fat SD card and latest Raspian with Transmission for torrents powered from your TVs USB. (If it has one.)
i see, ta. Â i read the 'unlimited storage' bit as relating to 'keep adding more storage to your box'...beano wrote:With the bogo one, which is the only one currently available in the UK you get 5GB of cloud free and have to pay the annual fee for unlimited. With the series 4 you have unlimited cloud with the hardware. IIRC. edit: wot id made sense.
beano wrote:A NAS enclosure sounds overkill. Check that pogo plug I linked to and see the features. Top of the range one is going cheap http://www.buy.com/prod/227013327.html it'll do everything you want network attached storage for by utilising an existing 2.5" sata drive of your choosing and can accommodate 2 USB drives and an SDcard reader. Accessible via iPoo & DNLA and over the internet. Presuming you mean time capsule to back up to another drive- then you can do the same here and backup from any of the storage devices attached to the pogo, USB, SATA & SD. Additionally there is cloud backup functionality for all your data.

Is this what your looking for? http://go.iomega.com/en/products/network-storage-desktop/home-network-hard-drives/home-media-cloud/#overviewItem_tab It has my iTunes library (and another music library on it) which is picked up and used by my Sonos music system (which is brilliant btw) and a photo and movies library which streams to my PS3.

Â And I'd like to be able to continue backing up wirelessly without needing one of the computers to be on. I'd like the media drive backed up as well so I don't lose my photos.
