Normal downloaded stuff via VLC fullscreen is fine on MPB... weird sound thing only happens with iTunes rentals being played via quicktime.
So yeah, ATV it is, I guess!

Is your TV 720p or 1080p?
I can't play proper HD content through itunes via HDMI because my telly isn't proper 1080p HD or something - always comes up with a warning and then plays it full screen without sound. Works fine on the laptop screen with sound, the minute you unplug the HDMI cable.
Try going full screen on some SD content through iTunes...

Oh tits - sorry I mis-read your post, didn't realise you were using an iPad.
Yep - you're probably going to need Apple TV, I did a bit of research into it a few months back and I don't think Chromecast really works with Mac stuff (pretty much because Apple aren't interested in supporting a competitor). I've been meaning to buy Apple TV for a while, but can't quite bring myself to throw any more money at that company right now.
I've never had a problem going fullscreen via an HDMI cable.. but that's using my old MBP which now lives under the TV as a sort of stuff-watching bitch unit - not tried it with my Air.
