I found an excellent introduction in Gelman and Hill (2006) Data Analysis Using Regression and Multilevel/Hierarchical Models. (Other comments mention it, but it deserves to get upvoted on its own.)

What is the best introductory Bayesian statistics textbook?
I'm finding that when streaming video or audio from either my iPad 1 or iPhone 4 to my Apple TV 2, it more often than not fails (although it does occasionally work). I'd say 6/10 it fails.

I'll:


Start playing the media
Press the AirPlay button (either from within the app or on the task bar)
Choose the Apple TV receiver


and after a few seconds it'll revert back to displaying on the local device.

I select the AirPlay option either before the media starts, or during it. It doesn't seem to make a difference.

Some times it'll look as though Apple TV tries to load it, other times it does not.

This happens with any application I use (eg. Safari, Spotify, Downcast).

My setup is as follows:


My iPad and iPhone 4 are connected to an Airport Express
My Apple TV is wired to a Netgear DG934G (a Sky Broadband router).
The Netgear and Airport Express are wired to each other.
I also have a laptop running XBMC which is acting as a AirPlay receiver. This is connected wirelessly to the Netgear. This too is flakey in terms of supporting AirPlay.


Is it common for AirPlay to fail this frequently, or do I have problem?

Thanks.
