Mac Mini Airplay advice

[Noetics]

Bonjourno!

I would like to know whether I can Airplay from my Mac Mini, over to my normal television if I plug this iPush DLNA Airplay wireless device into it? (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111176938495?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649)

Is it really as simple as this? the iPush device will plug into my tv via hdmi or usb then I can load up a movie on my mac mini and airplay it over to my tv?

I have an L shaped bedroom, and I can't see my mac mini screen from my bed and I would like to be able to stream tv and movie from my mac mini without moving the mini or trailing long cables across the room.

I know that this is possible using Apple TV, but if i can save £50 or so I will.

Thanks guys

Not exactly the most glowing reviews for this product:

It's obviously not an official airplay implementation but a reverse/hack of the protocol. You get what you pay for.

A Mini with ten meter HDMI cable evaporates an Apple TV at a fraction of the price. Just take some time to put it in a nice place and make sure you have the thinner flexible ones.

Ditto. It's way to simple to run a HDMI cable up & over to your TV location. I have a 35' HDMI cable going from my Mini that is in a closet up into the attic & down into the wall were the TV is mounted.
