I don't think it's possible. I know you can mirror from iPad 2 and iPhone, music and videos. But I don't believe you can mirror as in use the TV as a larger computer screen. I may be wrong though.

Using AirPlay support document

Just heard the news that mirroring from other mac products like your MBP will be a new feature in OSX "mountain lion", coming this summer.

There is an App called AirParrot. I downloaded it for free, which can be used for 20 mins. Possibly per App launch(havent used it much). Its 9.99 to purchase the full version. It was a little laggy, but this is the best choice for mirroring a Mac to Apple TV 2G or later.

How is this done? I can't get it from MacBook Pro (why???? Why, Steve, Why???) but you say I can from my iPad? Well, mine won't. Can you provide instructions?
