Just a week after updating its Reflector app, Squirrels has updated AirParrot for Mac to version 1.5.3. Here is what’s new:

• AirParrot now disables the “mirror displays” option in OS X while using Extend Desktop to prevent frozen AppleTV images

• “Hide Notification Center” preference now only appears for users on OS X 10.8 and later

• Resolved an issue that could cause an “Encoder Unavailable” error with latest Apple TV OS update

AirParrot is a little program that can run on Mac OS X or Windows and that allows a user to stream movies, watch TV, play music, or even run XBMC on an Apple TV. It works by wirelessly mirroring your Mac or PC’s screen to your Apple TV, all without any additional wires, hacks or jailbreaks.

AirParrot is available from here with a single machine license for $9.99 USD and a 5-machine license for $39.99 USD. 10 minutes trial version is also available.
