MacBook Pro and Apple TV

I have an application that I run on my MacBook Pro, poker tournament software, that I would like to see on a TV screen. Is this possible with the new Apple TV?

Also can I do the same thing if I'm using Windows XP via bootcamp. I can have both the MacBook Pro and the Apple TV hardwired to my my network or I can use WiFi.

Thanks,

Chuck

No, the Apple TV cannot do that.

Apple TV won't help, but you could cable-connect your MacBook Pro directly to the TV, assuming you have the right connectors.

If you have a Mini DisplayPort on your MacBook Pro and an HDMI port on your TV, you could connect using a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter. Other adapters should work if you don't have the referenced ports.

Thanks guys, I know I could use a cable with Mini Port but the TV is on one side of the room and the computer will be on the other side, approx 30' away. Was hoping the Apple TV would be the solution...
