Good point, thanks, but I tried that initially and didn't have much success (could have been the adapter though).
Plus, I do like the convenience to control the play from my iPad from wherever I am in the room rather than the device being physically tethered to the TV. The ATV2 options gives me that wireless flexibility (apart from the ATV to TV HDMI lead obv but I tend to tuck this neatly round the back or below the TV for the duration of the trip)
