Nice OP! Thanks Thwomp

Anyone know when they'll have these available to mess with in Apple Stores?

Also, when is the embargo lifted for full reviews?

Don't worry Rick & Morty buddy, you can still use the Amazon Streaming app to AirPlay video to the AppleTV

Someone developed the screensaver aerials from the new AppleTV for use on a mac:

Looks awesome on my iMac. It's a little bit buggy but that's to be expected.

Photo screensavers still the same? And does it cycle between more than the same 150 or 200 photos?

Is there a Flickr app available for the new Apple TV? And can you use your Flickr account to create a photo screensaver like always?

Yeah, this thing is pretty awesome. I don't use Plex and mostly use Apple TV for Netflix, Hulu and HBO, so this update is really perfect for me.

I think I'm most impressed with how loving fast the thing is! Scrubbing though tv shows and movies is a dream now and they load so quickly I can't get over it. This update has changed my viewing habits for the better practically overnight.

Yes, some of the setup or various apps was a pain and the remote takes some getting used to since I've used the old remote for 4 or 5 years now, but overall I really, really love this update. And it will only improve!

Yes because it's 10x faster in every way than the old ATV and scrubbing through video is so much easier it's insane. Plus the tech in the old ATV is almost 5 years old at this point.

All this talk of having to sign into apps repeatedly has me baffled. I've owned every Apple TV from gen 1 and have never had this problem.

Is it widespread?

Seems like a small thing, and maybe you could do this on older Apple TVs, but I just discovered, totally by accident, that you can trigger the screensaver on the new ATV whenever you want.

1) on the home screen, either highlight the far top, left icon or press the menu button (NOT the home button) until it automatically highlights the far top, left icon

2) once the top, left icon is selected, press the menu button again. This should automatically trigger whatever screensaver you have set

We have a lot of people over to hang out and our photo screensaver is always a great topic of conversation, so knowing how to activate it without going through the settings is fantastic.

Hulu App:

Almost every time I pause a show and shut my TV off and come back later, I come back to a frozen blurry picture. Only thing I can figure out to get it back is to reboot the ATV.

Does this happen to anyone else and there is a quicker way to fix it?

Maybe delete the app and reinstall it?

You all realize that CBS has some of the highest rated shows on network television, right? If anything their hubris is slightly warranted. If any network is going to try to strike out on their own it should be CBS.

Not saying their stuff is any GOOD, I don't watch anything on CBS myself, but as far as advertisers are concerned they're the top game in town. Hell, my mother is thinking of getting a subscription because, apparently, "most of the shows we watch are on CBS."

Trust me, I think this streaming world networks want to have will buckle under its own weight if they get their way, but it's not like CBS doesn't have the numbers to back up doing their own thing.

If you press the menu button and not the play button after scrubbing through video it automatically goes back to where you started

I would really, really love it if my HD movies on iTunes automatically updated to 4K, but I guess the chances are remote.

4K content has already started showing up in the iTunes Store. So far I have about a dozen titles converted to 4K.
