If you already own the Apple TV there is obviously no harm in trying it out but if you are planning on using multiple sensors via bluetooth it may be an issue
AppleTV supports 3 Bluetooth connections -- the remote and two more. So a typical limitation is that you can connect the smart trainer and heart rate monitor but not a third sensor like a cadence sensor -- or a device like Bluetooth headphones.

Ray Maker covers this on his blog:
Apple TV only supports two concurrent Bluetooth Smart sensors. To explain this in 1st grade math terms:
A) BT Smart Heart Rate Strap + BT Smart Power Meter = 2 Sensors = OK, good to go!
B) BT Smart Heart Rate Strap + BT Smart Cadence + BT Smart Speed = 3 Sensors = No good, too much
He also explains the workarounds and caveats.
