Dear iBrothers,

I just got my MacBook Air 13 2010 (Looove it!). I also have iPhone 4 and iPad 2.
I would like to stream movies, open photos on my HDTV using Apple TV.
Here are some questions i have:
1. Which gen Apple TV to buy?
I see that Apple TV 2 can be jailbroken, while 3rd gen cannot yet. But 3rd gen has 1080p. Jailrboken Apple TV 2 costs more than 3rd gen on eBay.

2. Will i have problems streaming video/audio using AirParrot?
Google says, Airplay streaming is not supported on my MBA 13 2010 (Mountain Lion). Will i have issues streaming divx movies using AirParrot?

Thanks :)
