So with my iPhone 6S in the same room as my Apple TV (Gen 4) if you swipe up, you get a shortcut menu and on that menu is a button that reads Airplay Mirroring. Tap it it and anything that is on your screen is now magically playing on your TV.
Pictures, music, Youtube, CBS, ESPN; Whatever you can download from your cell connection can be watched on Apple TV.
Wifi needs to be on on the phone, but no router or internet connection required. I just went an turned off my router to verify a few minutes ago.
Hotspot not enabled. The phone and Apple TV connect via the phones wifi chipset.
I unfortunately dumped Directv for Dish awhile ago before they did the "Watch all the Directv you want on your phone, no data limit" promotion. So I would have to watch my data unless on wifi.
I could not be more pleased with the new Apple TV.
For $150, you are getting an iPod/iPhone for your tv. It has an Apple A8 Dual Core processor and 64 GB of memory.
You download apps from the AppStore just like an iPhone and it is a very solid functional player for Netflix, etc and it has SIRI.
Like I said "Siri I want to watch Netflix Breaking Bad Season 4 episode 2" and its up.
