    Took a couple of old ATV2 out of storage.
    Want to stream from my MacBook to a non-Smart TV.
    Both on same SSID.
    The MacBook is searching for the device but can't find it.
    Any advice please ?

    Is the Apple TV switched on?

    Yes it's on and Apps are working.
    It's just that my MacBook cannot find it.
    Same with my second ATV as well.

    Do you have the optical audio lead in between the Apple TV and tv?

    I have ATV2 and it won’t work. Software updates stopped it. I’m the same with only audio.

    Remember you can jailbreak the 2 with seasonpass. Gives you plex, file streaming over network etc.

    My ATV2 was jailbroken before but the software must have been updated.
    Can to jailbreak it again ?
    Have a stupid MacBook Pro with no USB ports.

    It’s the MacBook OS that’s changed not the ATV.
