I'm not an audio expert, but I'm near-enough a network expert. WiFi shouldn't affect the quality of audio or video at all. I wouldn't expect blue tooth to affect it either. I'm not saying that it won't be affected. What would cause a reduction in quality is the application/protocol used to stream the data. You can think of it this way. Wifi and Bluetooth are just roads. How you get down the road is more dependent upon the car you're riding in than the road that you're on. Assuming a healthy environment for bluetooth or wifi (no major interference) we'll assume the roads are well paved. Bluetooth is like a small one lane, winding road with hedges on both sides. It's just too narrow to go very fast. Wifi is like the Autobahn or a large, wide multi-lane US interstate. You can cruise at top speed all day.

Apple TV is heavily dependent on having a PC somewhere running iTunes. From what I understand, you can get around iTunes for music to an AppleTV, but for video, you're pretty screwed and stuff with iTunes. The best video alternative seems to be using an app to stream DLNA content to an iPad or iPhone and then using Airplay to send that to the AppleTV.

Here's an interesting bit of info that's specific to AppleTV
