We got an Apple TV in my office recently, this thing is incredible for watching PPTV. With a 2nd generation Apple TV you can jailbreak it and get it to play movies from PPTV and similar service directly. Since we got a 3rd gen though it can only stream directly from an iPad. Select and play movies on the iPad and it streams to the tv automatically. The quality is good and everything has chinese subtitles, which are good for learning.
The Apple TV is great for this alone considering the price is about 600 yuan.
