Ask your neighbour to fix their AppleTV setting. Or start streaming porn to it so they probably will.

ha, i wish. i cannot connect to it (i get an error message); just annoying not to be able to (simply) removed unwanted items from that list (on my imac, i use the sound pref menu icon to switch audio interfaces).

if anyone knows how to do this... am not terminal-shy, or anything...

This issue has been around for years so I guess Apple just doesn't care and equates it to seeing outside wifi networks.
