if you have not updates - do not try it tonight. There is a problem going on where everyone that updates gets a bad copy of the software and its forcing you to restore and run the factory installed software - the update will not work.
Got a tip for us?

Same here. Updated this morning, played around with it for a bit before leaving for work. I could not get the genius playlists or on the go playlists to work, so tonight I did a factory restore, and updated again, and now its stuck in the endless apple logo reboot.
I don't know about everyones. I updated 2TVs and they work fine.
You updated them tonight? Then congrats your the only one I know of that did not get a brick
I updated yesterday afternoon (I'm gmt +2) and it's been working like a champ. The only thing I noticed is that I can't seem to put it to sleep by holding the play button on the remote for 5-6 sec's... Anyone know what's going on with that?
The update worked fine... up until 2 minutes ago. 
When I went to use my apple tv, I got the apple logo... BTW, I was thinking about installing some apps on it. Is it safe to do with the new update?
Yah, they changed it. Now you just go to Settings: Standby

I've got an issue, although the appletv isn't bricked at all.
Quite simply, when you go into music -> artists, you get other people's music not the artist's!
I've checked on the 'source' iTunes library and everything is fine, as is Front Row on that Mac.
Stumped! Anybody seen this sort of thing before?

That's strange and I thought it was VERY weird when I updated my TV 160GB yesterday evening. When the update was downloaded and I clicked to install the software the logo kept popping up and then disappearing as if it was rebooting aprx. 20 times a minute. It did this for a minute until it came to the logo with the loading bar below it. Then after it completed the bar it appeared to reboot about 5 times with the logo popping up and then disappearing every 2 seconds or so... After that it did the fancy little TV startup and all was good... Have not had a problem since...
I told ATV to update before I went to bed last night. In the morning it was fine. No problems to report.

The standby function from the remote seems to work fine now. Don't know why it wouldn't let me put it to sleep from the remote the first couple times.
Everything is working great now.
