No. This is a huge frustration and formally request it to be added.

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!

You do not need a cable to connect your iPad mini to Apple TV. Just download the Remote App from App Store and while your iPad Mini and Apple TV are on the same network, you can control Apple TV from your iPad MIni.

It is very useful, as the Ipad screen becoes a giant Trackpad for Apple TV and you can type using the on screen keyboard.

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

Ann, I also have an ancient Harmon/Kardon stereo with old KEF Cantor-III speakers. The sound is just fabulous, and I see no need to replace my beloved audio system with a newer (and probably worse-sounding) one, just to get an optical digital audio interface that I can plug in to my Apple TV.

What I did instead was to connect my audio system to my Sony TV via the analog audio outputs (dual red/white RCA connectors). The AppleTV sends digital audio to the TV (via HDMI) which then converts it into analog and sends it to the Harman/Kardon amplifier and the KEF speakers.

I suggest that you do the same, since you obviously have a decent analog stereo system. This setup has the added advantage that *any* video source (Apple TV, cable or satellite receiver, DVD player, etc.) will play through your stereo.

No, the Apple TV cannot be used as a wireless wouter. You need to have a primary wireless router (Airport Extreme, Time Capsule, Airport Express, Linksys, D-Link, etc.) that the Apple TV can wirelessly connect to for Internet access.

I have a Time Capsule (the primary wireless router) plus two Apple TVs and an Airport Express. To correct the previous commenter, the Airport Express has LIMITED AirPlay functionality. Using iTunes on a Mac, iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch, you can redirect the AUDIO stream to an Airport Express. However, to redirect an audio/video stream, you NEED an Apple TV; the Airport Express has no video connectivity (e.g. HDMI) whatsoever.

Yes, you can stream any movie in your iTunes library wirelessly through the Apple TV. The only cheaper way I can think of is to get an appropriate cable and/or adapters to directly connect your MacBook to your TV's video and audio inputs. That's quite a pain, though, and I think the Apple TV is worth the price just for the convenience of not having to fool around in the back of the TV every day.
