That a really good idea. It's not like regular iOS development where it's easy to find testers yet.
got mine and installed the tvOS beta and then hooked up to TV but now cannot figure out how or even if able to connect it to the Apple Remote app on iPhone or Apple Watch...
Also mine the main menu I got Movies, TV Shows, Photos, Settings, Computers and Search but no Music and none of the 3rd party content you would see on older AppleTVs such as HBO Now, etc.

There are no 3rd party apps on it, even the ones that are on other generation Apple TVs. The purpose of the device is to test your own apps. There are threads about it on the Apple dev forums.
Yes but had to unplug 3rd gen to plug this in as not enough HDMI Ports on tv and hard to get back there so rather not have to switch so was hopeful would still have the 3rd party's oh and I can't access the Apple Developer forums haven't been able to since first day they released iOS 9 Beta 1 I get a create account screen and no matter what username I put in it says "username is okay" and but when I click submit I get a error.. Ive sent several emails to Developer Support with no resolution and even filled a Bug Report with no response... So as of right now can't see those threads about it :-(
I got in the second round of TV SDK shipments - should get it in about a week:
