Yeah, it's only enabled on certain apps, and unfortunately not on some big ones like NFL and HBO Go. Mostly is those pesky licensing issues that shut it down.
Thanks, that's good to know. I was assuming I could just mirror my iDevice.

Hmm, any word on it on iTunes 11?
Yeah, that's definitely HBO. I'm sure Apple would love to have an HBO app on the AppleTV. HBO doesn't let you use AirPlay from their app either.
Hopefully quick iTunes account switching will also come to iTunes / AppStore on Mac and iPhone/iPad soon!
Last I saw Netflix only had seasons 1-2 of Dexter and that much was removed last year.
If I'm mistaken, please correct me because I'd like to continue the series without 1) paying a fortune on iTunes or 2) subbing to Showtime (which I know has great series, but there's enough good stuff to catch up on for now like Mad Men and Breaking Bad).
Although there's a lot I like about the Apple TV 3, my experience hasn't been great. My main usage is Netflix, and it's constantly getting stuck buffering. I can't make it through an 45 minute TV show without it doing this 3 or 4 times. I don't have the same problem on my PS3 or on my Macs. This is on wired network connection, so wifi is not the issue.
Movie rentals is the other usage. Occasionally we get some server issue and are not able to rent a movie at all and have to give up until the next day.
I've only tried Airplay Mirroring from OS X to it a few times, but I've had a lot of weird issues. Airplay Mirroring from my 4S is strange because it doesn't fill up the whole screen (is there a way to make it do this?); I assume it's trying to match 1:1 pixel ratio, but I wish it had an option to scale.
I use it for audio Airplay occasionally (though I have an Airport Express that I use more), and for that it works great.
Or add volume control to the remote?!
yep, no BBC iPlayer, no JB for ATV3 - it's quite useless here in the UK and I don't want to use AirPlay - what's the point of employing 2 devices for 1 task?
Was this update pushed out automatically? I just turned on my Apple TV (3rd gen) and I only have two icons now: Home Sharing and Settings WTF happened?!
could you please elaborate a bit or educate me so i know how to use my gear - apparently I'm too stupid to use only 1 device when using AirPlay (roll eyes)
I have had that before. It is when you have no internet connection
Time to upgrade your speed.
yes but....if you really want to watch all your videos, you must jailbreak it. I find it sad that Apple could easily sell many millions more if they allowed such apps as Plex onboard. I guess the studios have a big say in how it develops.
why won't they add native frame rate playback already?
If you continue to experience long "ready to play times" times when renting movies, keep in mind you can rent it on iTunes on a computer and stream it to your Apple TV.
