It's cheap enough I might get one unless someone has one they'd sell
on?<br>

AirPlay is apple-kit-only, so if you have e.g. a linux or
windows box or an android phone you want to connect, you're out
of luck. There's an open source audio-only implementation
though, it's built into XBMC/Kodi.<br>
<br>
If you have an existing OSX or windows box to run it on,
AirServer (<a href="http://www.airserver.com/" target="_blank">http://www.airserver.com/</a>)
is $15 and works fine with iOS/OSX devices for airplay
mirroring. If you run it on windows (and have the right wireless
adapter...) it'll do miracast, but miracast seems to be a bit of
a mish-mash of implementations at the moment, so you might not
find anything that'll talk to it.<br>

AirPlay display extending which allows you to use the ATV
box as a separate monitor.

Apple TV boxes are pretty cheap now but I'm still not

buy anything through it, so that's not much use if
that's the only way to control it (as some of the online
stuff seems to indicate).<br>

What I was hoping was that it would just let you use the
TV like an external monitor and also send audio to it.<br>
