NAS for Sonos & Apple TV
I have Sonos 3 which I am very happy with, I also have a Mac Book Pro and Apple TV (1). The mac Book Pro is running out of Disk space and I want to move data (Musci and video) to a NAS. I want to be able to listen to the SONOS without the MAcBook being booted up. I would also like to have the Apple TV Video stored on the NAS. I have a fairly large library of films which I would want to be able to click somewhere on to transfer them to Apple TV form the NAS rather then store them on the Mac Book
Any recommendations?
I was looking at QNAP but it looks a bit expensive compared to other NAS - Is the QNAP worth the investment?
Thanks

It will if you are happy to jailbreak. Firecore is excelent.

Looks very interesting! Will the functionality retain after software updates?

It depends on your requirements (& if you will be using all the features). I've been mulling over Synology vs QNAP myself.
Thanks what will jailbreaking do?
For example will I be able to still rent movies from ITunes?
Excuse my ignorance BTW
Yes, you will still be able to rent movies from iTunes. All of Apple TV's functionality is retained, & some extra features are added.

Thanks! Works perfectly as desired!!

I don't think Apple TV can read & play off a NAS.
