Hi David, The Apple TV is a small device which connects to your TV or home theatre receiver via an HDMI connection. It also has 1 digital optical output so if you want only audio and have a receiver or amplifier which has a digital optical input you could hook it up that way. The Apple TV is actually an iOS device which means it has it's own version of iOS and it has Voiceover and is fully accessible as a stand-alone item. The Apple TV is also an Airplay device which means you can stream content from your iPhone or other iDevice to it via Airplay. Apart from that it connects to your iTunes library on your computer although you have to have iTunes running on your computer for that to work and home sharing must be on. The Apple TV also allows you to watch Youtube videos and it's probably the easiest and most accessible interface to Netflix if you are a subscriber of course. You can also listen to internet radio stations, podcasts and you can buy and rent music, movies and TV shows with it. There is also a growing list of TV channels you can watch, some of which are free others require you to have a subscription of some sort.
Below is the link to the Apple TV information on the Apple website where you can read all about it: http://www.apple.com/AppleTV The Apple TV costs $99 in the US, but I would probably not buy one right now because there are a lot of rumours about a new Apple TV coming out possibly this fall.
