Questions about the Apple TV? Get them answered here.

Do you mean by physical means, like a cable or something? The answer is no. But they do connect virtually through your local area or wireless network. iOS devices can be used to control Apple TV, or even mirror their displays on it through AirPlay.

Being a new Apple TV user, I was pleased to see how this connectivity can be a real boon for those of us who want to make presentations using our iPads. Just hook up Apple TV to a projector or large screen TV, et voila!

No. Apple TV is not an app so you can not watch it directly from your iPad.

No, but what you can do is choose a provider who offers a television-app download for your ipad, such as my provider does, they normaly offer a combination of internet, television and phone

Not positive, but consider that your phone and the Apple TV need to be connected to the same network. That means you need a Wireless router, which the phone would hook to WiFi, and the ATV could be wired to. Do you normally have a WiFi router camping? Don't see why that wouldn't work, unless there is some setup of the ATV that it needs internet access for. Once on the same network, not reason they shouldn't see each other.

Seems simpler just to get the right cable for an iPhone 4 and your projector.

Yes, kinda. There is a new service called Aereo that is being rolled out which will enable you to skip the antenna alltogether. I wanted to input the link, but that is not allowed. Do a search for Aereo & Apple TV. It is available in NYC now, and will be rolled out to DC later this year. Hope this helps!

It mirrors exactly what you see on your device onto the TV screen. If your movie is playing with black bars on either side, it is inherent to the file itself.

The Apple TV needs to be connected to the same network (wifi or LAN) that your iPad is connected to in order to stream media from the iPad. The Apple TV doesn't work with cellphone service. Unless you set up your iPad as a hotspot (I think some cellular service companies allow that) so the Apple TV is on the same network as your iPad, the 4G data plan won't help mirror your iPad to the Apple TV.
