Best Answer
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.- Answered by Oguz A from Fairfax

Answer
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.

yes you can.
I have 3 myself, with each appleTV acquiring its own IP address from DHCP using the same WIFI network, same apple account, and same itunes repository (which I have on an iMac)... you will also need to set Home Sharing on all devices.- Answered by Andrew C

Answer
You will need a HDMI cable to connect it to your TV, as it doesn't come with one. You'll also need an optical cable if you intend to use the digital audio out.

Connecting Apple Tv to older TVs
I want to connect my older TV to Apple TV. My old TV is 1080i and Apple TV is 1080p. I know that there is an adapter to convert from 1080p to 1080i. I am wondering about cost and and how will this affect picture quality. Also where to purchase this adapter. The apple TV resolution does not offer 1080i in the setting selection.

Does Apple TV support closed captioning?
As a deaf viewer, closed captioning is mandatory for enabling a viable viewing experience. I recently purchased a Roku2 device, but found the subtitles in Netflix very difficult to read (yellow text without a proper contrast background). I want to understand if that's an issue with Apple TV as well.

Answer
Directly to the TV. Unless you have an AV-Receiver which handles all your audio instead of the TV speakers, in which case you would connect the AppleTV to the receiver.

Can you use a bluetooth keyboard with this?

Best Answer
You can now with the iOS 5.2 update for Apple TV. Apple (kind of secretly) built Bluetooth into the 2nd and 3rd generation Apple TVs, but didn't activate it initially. As they did with the 2nd generation Apple TV, they waited to activate Bluetooth with a software update. Now you can finally use a Bluetooth keyboard with Apple TV. A lot of Apple TV users like myself have been waiting for this update.
