AirPlay mirroring from MacBook Pro?

[johnny football hero]

I just recently bought an Apple TV. I've used AirPlay Mirroring from my ipad2 to the Apple TV. Am I able to use AirPlay mirroring from my MacBook Pro to Apple TV? If so, how can I do that? I'd like to AirPlay shows from Hulu. Seems like Hulu doesn't work on the iPad. I'm not a Hulu Plus subscriber.

Can't Airplay from Macs... yet. It has been alleged the functionality may appear in the next OSX release.

That sucks. I'm a little disappointed on the lack of content on Apple TV. Maybe I should of got a roku?

Lack of content? There's all of iTunes... on the AppleTV3 there's Netflix... Youtube, Vimeo, plus any personal content you've ripped into iTunes... or if you want to use a TV as a second display on a mac - all you need is proper cables...

You can always JB the AppleTV and install aTVFlash for more content... but the AppleTV is coming along nicely for a "hobby" device.

I'm looking to completely dump cable tv. I already have Netflix. With roku, I can directly access Hulu and watch current tv shows on my tv. I'm a UFC fan and roku has a dedicated channel for UFC. There is a variety of other channels and private channels to explore. I don't want to pay for everything through iTunes.

you can airplay from a mac...download a program called AirParrot ($10). worth the money.
