    Amy,

     

    The cable to the TV does not come with the Apple TV, you need to get an HDMI cable.  If you TV does not have HDMI ports you can get a convertor but this can cause problems with some content with HDCP.

     

    The European issue would only be the plug and most electrical stores sell cheap adaptors.
