That's amazing, glad you had such a good experience with that. I have a question I was hoping you or someone else on here could answer though sense I don't yet have an acount with them.

In other words, will their IPhone app work in conjunction with the box they use with the TV settup, or is the apple TV a must? On Dec 5, 2012, at 6:02 AM, Søren Jensen wrote:
