Doing Airplay, I see on my iPad "Apple TV (3)", what is the (3) ?

[iMore Question]

The TV and Apple TV (gen 3) are powered on. We have a router and three items are plugged into it with Ethernet Cat-6 cables: a computer, the Apple TV that I have and the third cable goes to another apartment. I know they have an Apple Airport and may have Apple TV boxes but I'm not sure.

So is the (3), two devices they have plus my Apple TV ?

In case I have trouble finding this forum, can you email me?



Thank you.
