Have you tried resetting your router, AppleTV and the computer(s) you're streaming from?
Yes. My AppleTV is wired to the AEBS. My iMac is about 20 feet away. My iMac's connection to the AEBS is N, rock solid, etc. I have the AEBS in the living room because that's where the cable comes in, and I have a cable modem.
Unfortunately, I don't need to reset the AppleTV as it does that on its own every so often. (Uhm, I just couldn't resist. It actually has rebooted 3X since the upgrade to 2.0.)
As a result of Apple software updates, I have been rebooting the computer every few days, too.
I will cycle all of the interacting components.
I had a stuttering problem and rebooted all three and now it's gone. Glitches happen with every iteration of every piece of technology I've ever owned... including pencils, go figure.
LOL. Listen, I know what you're talking about. I am in product development (software) and worked on a variety of early hardware (like the Newton, Sega's 3D Saturn, etc.) with primitive tools. I understand the complexity of these systems: Wireless, iTunes Server, Take 2, ITMS, etc., not to mention a new OS. Any/all of them could be interacting to produce irregular performance. I have experience with much simpler systems and have found debugging to be... at best.... challenging.
There were other performance issues I had that were not attributable to AppleTV, though I've read so many posts on here where users complain about problems that they haven't even begun to troubleshoot and they throw their arms up in despair blaming AppleTV before even empirically confirming what the source of the problem is.
I actually agree with your observation, and, empirically, I can tell you that with Take 1.1 I had none of the benefits of Take 2, but I also had none of the issues from which I now suffer. I think that eliminating Take 2 is a reasonable debugging exercise, don't you? If the problems vanish with 1.1, couldn't it be simple 2.0?
My original position, which I have not altered, is that I would gladly give up rentals (all that Take 2 seems to have added of consequence*) for the stability of 1.1. I am sure there are many people with 10.5 who long for the stability of 10.4.x.
I'm not sure I understand your first complaint: Being able to "see" all your media? What do you mean, exactly?
When I select My Movies from the top-level menu, I am informed that I have none. When I leave that menu and return, it (often, but not always) properly displays the titles in my iTunes library. It seems like some connection issue, though, as I said, my Apple TV is wired to my AEBS, which is extremely close to my iMac, N network, rock solid, etc. I would
not be surprised to learn that many of these problems we have been having with Take 2 reside in iTunes.
I have cycled the Apple TV, and have had success, but only for a while.
None of these are deal-breakers, especially considering the risk I would take trying to put 1.1 back on it.
I will patiently wait (and hope) for an update.

*Actually, I have purchased music via AppleTV and the ITMS, and had it sync back to my iMac. I
would miss this feature.
TV a lot. I have tried setting the
