I use mine for:
digital radio/music from macbook/ipad through the surround sound
Netflix (subscription needed)
mirroring/airplaying iplayer and other stuff from ipad (no actual apple tv app for it)
have hired the odd hd film from itunes (about £4.50 a pop)
You can airplay to it from some of the newer macbooks - mine is too old (2010) I think it's from 2011 onwards.

It's not the all singing all dancing media hub I was hoping for - mainly because nobody has been able to jailbreak it, but I do use mine a fair bit - it just needs more useful apps built in imho...
