Set it up. Bluetooth set up didn't work. Had to input passwords manually.

Remote is nice. Not many apps yet but surely more to come soon.
Lots of games.

Needs more streaming Freeview/iplayer apps.

At least I don't have to hook up my MacBook to the Rv for Netflix though smile

If there's an iOS app then I'm sure it will be easy enough an worthwhile enough to port it to the Apple TV. In the meantime I'm sure you'll be able to AirPlay from your iOS device?

I'm really looking forward to using it as a games console. Should be cracking fun

The AirPlay is fantastic.

Especially for mirroring a MacBook for presentations

Had mine for a while now.
It's fantastic.

Switches the tv in/off automatically and can stream all my media natively from NAS disk using the infuse app (a bit like plex ) but doesn't need a server running so more like xbmc)

I don't have an aerial connected to the tv so I need to get it through Netflix or other online content for which the new Apple TV is great.

There are great pick up and play games too.

The remote is rubbish for password entry but the iPhone remote app works for that or one can dictate letters using Siri. A bit hit and miss for me.

Great piece of kit
