Mine freezes 1-3 times over a 2 week period. Sometimes the only way to resolve it is to unplug it
haha i like how you pulled tallest skil into this thread...
ive had my appletv since... (looking up receipt information) ... june 2008.
i have NEVER had any problems with appletv feezing on me.
i have however had problems with appletv syncing.
never feezing.

Not since the last software update... before that it would freeze every time I changed inputs on my receiver. Something to do with the HDMI handshake.
i didnt pull him in it. i said i never had mine freeze then he said i didnt have one. so i made this thread to find all the lyars!!! haha
Mine doesn't freeze, it just stops working right. After 1-3 weeks of normal operation it will show a white screen when trying to play movies. I have to reboot it to get the video working again.

I'm confused at the purpose of this thread, but I think I'll roll with it.
There is a general rash of freezing.
If yours hasn't, good for you; that's awesome.
Let it be known, however, that the guy calling me out here also said that absolutely no one ever turns off their computer.
Here is the relevant exchange:
Generalizations do not a good argument make.

Neither of my apple TV's has frozen in a long time, and i do keep my iMac on all the time. But i agree with tallest skill that the apple tv should have an off button just for convenience. And i would really love to have a central server that can feed all of my apple tv's without having iTunes running.
so would i would love to not have itunes running. and most people dont turn there computer off its just fact
I'm curious, why do you say this? What's better about a 'central server' than your iMac which you say you never turn off anyway?
(On topic: My Apple TV does not freeze, but it sure gets unresponsive during a sync)
A.
(whose Mac Mini *is* the 'central server')
I know, when I first saw that I laughed. After all, it is really a nonsensical statement. What is a central server other than a computer running iTunes all the time? Go buy an XServe if you want a headless server product that is designed to run continuously.
But seriously, I do get what he's saying, what I thought Apple might do is to turn the time machine product into a centralized media server as well. It wouldn't be hard - have it host the iTunes database and files, allow iTunes running on your iMac (or whatever) to manage it, and allow multiple macs/Apple TVs/iPods, whatever to access the content.
I see no freezing issues with mine.
An on/off would be nice.
IMO having the computer on while streaming seems basic (why is this a problem?) You are more than welcome to sync any information to your ATV if you don't want to stream.

LOL. This awesome. My first one froze all the freaking time. It was in an area with no ventilation and got pretty hot. Eventually it just stopped working all together.
They replaced it and at the same time I bought a house and a new open and airy media center. Now my new one breaths fine, and has never frozen (that I can remember in the last 6 months I've had this one).
So, I used to be honest???
An asthmatic entertainment cabinet?
But seriously, good to know. My refurb ATV arrives tomorrow (!) and I was going to cram it into the space above my upscaling DVD player. Would have been a tight fight. Now I'll need to rearrange some things to make more "breathing" room.
Can't wait to play with the thing, configure it, sync it, hack Boxee on it, play with multi-room AirTunes, Remote.app, etc. A system engineer's wet dream.
the remote app sucks haha. i think they should make the app a apple remote but on the touch screen
