A wifi capable remote would be sick ... maybe with a LCD screen ... or hell allow the iphone to be used as a remote.
I vote for that, man. Allowing your ipod touch or iphone to be the remote, where you have your own special coverflow interface ( like itunes store )
that has your library on it too, would blow my mind.
My Movies, My TV Shows and My Music should all be moved to the top of the list menu.
Its a pain that you have to scroll down past everything just to get to your own content.
Thank god for my USA iTnus Account the menus look bare and empty when the UK Store is selected.
I don't know if I like the interface or not... Only time will tell if it grows on me.

There has to be a better way to scroll through the movies. Am I missing something. On my 42 inch tv, I can hardly read what the movies are. This sucks.
Man I love these forums!
Well said!! I did just that.
poster view doesn't work ( slow and eyestrain). Has anyone found a setting to get a simple list?
Search provides a list of results.

1400 movies?! Assuming each is 1.5 hours (the minimum, essentially, since many go longer), that's about 90 days of straight, non-stop movie viewing. Even if you only sleep for 6 hours a day (120 days non-stop w/ sleep), that's 4 months straight of movies.
You watch everything, repeatedly? Do you have a job? Maybe you need one Most people could probably watch a movie per night assuming a normal job and sleep schedule, and they have some semblance of a life. Which would mean you'd be set for over 3.5 years.
More importantly, assuming you spent $9.99 per movie (the cheap ones canceling out the expensive ones), that's about $14k on movies.
I don't think the problem is with

I've only seen about half, if not less. I've converted my entire DVD collection, as well as my uncle's, sister's, dad's and many of my friends. I use MacTheRipper at about 20 minutes per, then after I have a large amount, I use Handbrake. It's taken me over a year to get my collection to this point. Oh and yes I do have a job, own a consulting company, which enables me to have others assist in the conversion as well as giving me ample time to keep the process going. I will be slowing down, I'm almost out of movies to convert.
Maybe in a future update they will move the menu choices around and place the My Music, My Movies etc. on top of each menu to save our thumbs!!!
When you give feedback, tell them to fix the feedback page to include Leopard, as an operating system option!
I am amazed that we still can't play music videos in play lists like music. They still only play one at a time. Other than that so far ok.
iPhone/itouch remote
This exists, despite having to do some tv hacking first I think,
but that wasn't hard anyway (I know bugger all on this kinda of thing but managed to pull it off in an hour)

I'd definitely like to see a more functional remote from Apple, even if I have to pay a bit and it;s not included with TV.
TV.Its harder to get to my content.
Yay! Its soooo much easier to spend more money now! i use my TV for syncing and streaming. Renting is a nice touch, but the emphasis on renting is a little too much. Yah, its good if you are a new customer and plan to use it mainly for replacing On-Demand, but if you have already encoded tons of movies, and moved it all over along with your music... It just seems that it got more complicated.
