Sorry - beginner with iMac - but keen to learn!
Having created a slideshow on iPhoto, I am keen to find a simple way to display it on my living room HDTV - as a quicker & more effective alternative to burning it onto a DVD first. At the same time, I want the best quality picture possible on my HDTV, as I'm using an 18 megapixel camera.
Will Apple TV deliver this for me - or is a media hard drive a better option? Alternatively is burning to DVD still the best way to show my efforts to family & friends on an HDTV?
 
The easiest way to do it is just to run a cable from your Mac to your TV. But yes, the new AppleTV will do this.

Turn your TV into an HD photo album.

With Apple TV, every megapixel of every photo looks amazing. Big, bold, and in glorious HD: It’s the treatment your digital life deserves. So instead of huddling around a computer screen, you and your friends can relive memories from a comfy spot in your living room. Or add some life to the party with a photo slideshow. Select an album, pick a slideshow theme, and finish it off with a soundtrack featuring music from your iTunes library.
 
Thanks Tilpots !

I've used the link you provided to view the Apple TV marketing clip. Sounds like it will do the job !

Appreciate your time.
