    From what I recall, Natural Wireless is a brand used by hotels and big apartment complexes to offer wireless. You should have no problem using it, however, I think there will be two issues.

     

    The first one, and it could be a major one, the AppleTV and your computer must be on the same network name. If they aren't then you can't do things like Airplay.

     

    The second one, and it will be a major one, is bandwidth. In situations like a wireless that's shared by so many users, and the way wireless shares connections, you could be throttled to very low speeds, which won't allow you to get HD content.

     

    Again, it should work. But watch out for the issues I mentioned.
