AnswerThe Sky Go App is blocked from streaming to a TV. You can get the audio but only the SkyGo logo is displayed on screen. Sky build this into the App to avoid losing revenue from their multi-room package, so I'm told.

You cannot connect an external HD directly to Apple TV unfortunately. For some bizarre reason Apple have chosen not to support the internationally recognized standard known as DLNA to stream video, photos, and music from external peripherals. If you have an iPad or iPhone you can use an app (such as Media Connect) to access DLNA peripherals such as an external HD, and then Airplay it to the AppleTV. This works fine but does of course require an iPad or iPhone to work. Alternatively you have to leave your Mac or PC switched on and running iTunes. This is a missed opportunity by Apple. Numerous other devices similar to Apple TV are avallable which do support DLNA (Roku, WD, etc). If Apple ever make an app store for Apple TV then maybe we will get DLNA but until then it is missing this vital feature.

Answer
While there is no official app available to use on Apple TV, you can still Airplay it from iPhone, iPod touch or iPad and watch it on your preferred television. That's how I've been doing it if I didn't want to be glued to my Mac or iPad. It works really well, and you never know in the future, Crunchyroll may have an app approved for Apple TV.

AnswerYes. I've been doing so for months. I have a 2TB ext hdd formated in NTFS. All my HD movies are saved there and imported to iTunes. So both Mac and Pc can stream HD content to AppleTV without any problem.

Best AnswerI used my AppleTV 3 for the first time at a presentation at a Marriott Hotel. It worked flawless in mirror mode with my iPad 3. I was able to bring up my Keynote presentation on their big screen. Actually, anything App the iPad was visible in Mirror Mode. You could also put your presentation in .pdf format and run it from iBooks.
Hookup was a breeze, simple plug their overhead projector's HDMI cable into the Apple TV, connect to their WiFi Network, and I was able to walk around the room with my iPad in hand and run the presentation. I could have also used my iPhone.
My PC partner, was force to stand in the middle of the room with a big black cable hanging down from the overhead projector connected to his PC, and he had to keep pressing the space bar to move his presentation along. Not very cool. I think next time, he'll use his iPad.
I would recommend major hotel chains invest in one of these for their presentation rooms. That way, anyone with an iPhone or iPad could easily give a cordless presentation.- Answered by Scott R from Boone
