Dragging this back to life for a bit!
With the iPhone app "Remote" you can control the Apple TV in ways that you can't (at least not very easily) via the Apple TV interface. Is there a program that can control the Apple TV via a MacBook like this?
Kinda, sorta. The easiest thing to do is to use your AppleTV via AirTunes. You need to enable this on one of the menus. After that, your AppleTV shows up just like an Airport Express might, as one of your speaker options at the bottom right of the iTunes window. You can play anything, use playlists, etc. What you don't get is the swank on-screen display from the AppleTV.
