I just downloaded the AirParrot app for windows to enable me to mirror my PC desktop to my AppleTV 2. The video quality is very good, but the audio quality is surprisingly poor – there are pronounced compression artifacts. Is there something that I can do to improve to audio quality? If thew audio quality can be substantially improved I will definitely purchase at least one (possibly two) licenses. Thanks.

Yes. We are paying licensing fees. Thanks for asking! There’s no hacking involved. We’re using good ol’ AirPlay Mirror technology that’s found nowhere else. Our tech mirrors that of Apple’s.

Note that AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring aren’t the same. DLNA doesn’t support Mirroring as it’s not an open technology or documented anywhere. Also note that we launched before Apple announced Mirroring in 10.8 and that a lot of users can’t/won’t upgrade.

In reply to Roger Joseph. Agree with the other commenter. This function exists nowhere else although Mountain Lion (MacOS 10.8) will decrease the need for this product (although I still plan to use the PC version).

I downloaded the trial version, it sucks!
Not only does it have latency but the sound work sometime & sometime not, and has a very bad quality when it does..

Do you know what you are talking about?
* how do you mirror your windows desktop to the apple tv?
* how do you mirror your osx lion or lower to the apple tv?

Hold on hold on, Apple TV (airplay) streaming is free and has always been free and will continue to be free. You want us to pay you $15.99 for some thing you hacked. Are you paying the License fee for the H.264 video codec in your product !!

Seems like a money run/grab. I do think it’s neat you have this working but there are many open source projects that deliver “airplay” su-do DLNA. Just seems steep like some one trying to steal a product then selling it a pretence of a legitimate business.
