Well I've opened the box and fired up the CloudFTP for the first time and written my first thoughts in this thread http://www.ipadforums.net/ipad-accessories/75570-cloudftp.html#post544140
So far it's looking good but now I've got to see exactly what this little box can do!

So if you had the Apple TV thing and your My Book connected, do you suppose you could watch the movies on your TV?

If you mean stream from the My Book to the iPad and simultaneously stream from the iPad to the TV.......I think that it's unlikely but I will try it out later today and let you know, if it works the that will be a bonus!
EDIT: The more I think about this the more I don't understand why I said that it is unlikely. Anyway, I'll test it later.

If I can get by the technology learning curve, I'd like to have the hard drive connected to my router with all my movies stored on the drive. Further to that I have cataloged each movie on to a database manager called EMDB which is free to use but if you donate a small amount they will send you a code to rename the program to what ever you like. This is a Windows program.
Anyway, this program not only catalogs each movie but it automatically looks up tons of details about each movie from IMDB and....... if you so choose it can play any selected movie from your movie database assuming you have that movie in on your drive. This is what it looks like:

It's my turn to ask for assistance here. I have set up my CloudFTP as per this thread http://www.ipadforums.net/ipad-accessories/75570-cloudftp.html and I'm part way through the review/guide for it but I've run into a brick wall. I have connected GoodReader and it sees the CloudFTP and I can even download files straight into the app but when I try to upload from GoodReader to CloudFTP I get an error 553. I have done some googling and discovered that its an FTP error but if I have a weakness (I actually have many) then FTP is definitely at the top of my list.
So, if anyone can assist I would be grateful, I am connecting using ad-hoc mode and most of my settings can be seen on the CloudFTP thread?

Interestingly, another part of this project is to turn off the wireless on my BT Home Hub and use the Apple Time Capsule to create a wireless network instead. I understand that it should be even better than it is......and it seems pretty good at the moment!

Thanks for that a perfect location for this thread...... I find it is exciting that we now have so many solutions that work with the iPad... But in saying that we need to make the set up easy for every one... Hopefully this new forum will provide those solutions so any one can have confidence when they purchase a home hub or NAS system they can be sure it will provide what they need to make it happen seamlessly.

I think I said somewhere else in this thread that there is so much available for the iPad in relation to NAS, clouds, home entertainment, etc and that it is so easy to set up and use that more folks should look into it.
It does seem like a minefield of geekness and technofear at first glance but the truth is that almost everything is plug and play these days so hopefully these threads and this section will help everyone out. I'm really enjoying setting my new systems up and it gives me a whole new level of enjoyment from my iPad and home entertainment kit!
Watch out for the new WD TV thread coming to a sub forum near you soon!
