You dont mirror but use upstairs ATV3 as extended display. So your Macmini downstairs can be used for other things.
Control the macmini using Iphone or Ipad from upstairs via splashtop.
Like i said ATV3 can only play 5.1 channel sound in DD/TDS if you encoded the movie sound in AC3 5.1, if you straight away download from torrent and stream(extended display/mirror) to ATV3 it will play only 3.1.
Ok that probably complicated. If anyone has Iphone/ipad, he/she can just airplay xbmc installed in the the idevice and airplay directly to the appleTV
LOL not complicated at all bro! It's a SWEET idea! i never thought of the extended display option!
But how's the quality of extended display playing Plex vs plex on ipad airplay direct to TV?
I just bought the ATV3, gonna install PlexConnect on it and if that works, then all problems solved

no worries about 5.1 or 3.1 coz I'm just using the TV speakers.
