    Good news for UK Apple TV users? (iPlayer Universal search)

    My first post, so please be nice. This is not a link to a news report, I've had to deduce this after a few hours of playing and researching.

    TV inputs arent working since update

    Probably not the best worded title, however since the update my television will not let me make any adjustments (volume adjustment, HDMI switch, or change in channel) at all unless I completely unplug the Apple TV from my television. Neither remote (apple or original) work while it is plugged...

    Has the Siri Remote Doomed the Apple TV?

    Probably not, but with so many people saying that they "hate" the new remote you have to wonder what Apple will do to correct these misgivings with the next revision of the product. I'm going to come right out and say it, the touch surface on the Siri remote has got to go. What I'm concerned...
