Apple TV 3 and Jailbroken devices

I'm thinking about getting an Apple TV 3, especially now there's rumours of a jailbreak for it.

In the meantime... will my jailbroken iPad and iPhone play nicely with it?

Will I be able to watch Sky Go on the TV using displayout? or do Cydia apps require that the TV unit is jailbroken too?

Anyone use one?

What rumours?

There is no ATV3 jailbreak.

I'm just wondering if it's gonna give me trouble using jailbroken devices with it. Seeing as it won't be jailbroken itself. (yet, or maybe never)

It's been in the works since August - everyone is still waiting.

Whats going on with all the ATV3 jailbreak threads at the moment! Don't people google things anymore!

Doesn't look like it.... Explains why my brother in law bought an ATV3, despite specifically wanting to use it as an XBMC box and his brother and I saying it would be useless to him (even more so because he's got an iPad 1 and can't even Airplay mirror).
