Q: sending content from Macbook Pro to Apple TV

Have had Apple TV for a year, and am still don't know how to send movies from the laptop (Mavericks) to Apple TV. Have turned on Home Sharing, but what then?

Is a cable necessary? A good wireless (Verizon) network is available.

If someone could post a step-by-step procedure I'd be very grateful.

iPad 2, iOS 5.0.1

home sharing is the appletv being able to access supported media in a shared itunes lib on your computer it works pretty much the same way as other computers on the same network as you can access media from your itunes lib if you set it as shared
