Has anyone used http://beamer-app.com/ ?
I have an apple tv 3, but not yet a TV, so I can't test it. How does it handle 1080-content?

AirParrot does the same thing, but neither have the capability to really deliver a flawless stream due to hardware (and bandwidth?) limitations. But it still works and I can watch a live sports stream on my TV with relative success (it plays).

Is there any other solution for what I want to do?

I'm basically in the same boat as you-- buying the Apple TV 3 to use as an XBMC client talking to the NAS. Unfortunately, the only options right now are either AirVideo (or an equivalent) or AirParrot... which sucks. Hopefully a jailbreak comes out in due time, but don't get your hopes up anytime soon!
