It's a little weird, but when I go back into the episode list for whatever TV series I'm watching it acts like I didn't watch the episode I just finished and it wants to play it again.

This has been happening to me and it's driving me nuts. Anyone come up with a fix?

I also have some mystery 'unwatched' badges in Hulu's favorites section, even though clicking on the show reveals no I watched episodes.

My girlfriend has an Apple TV at her place, and I'm wondering if I can sign into my Netflix account over there. If I already have Netflix on my own Apple TV, is that gonna cause problems? Watching stuff at the same time shouldn't be an issue, since I only really use Netflix when I'm with her. So it'd be nice to have my account active on both ATV's, but I'm not sure if there's some cumbersome re-authorization process involved or if it's even doable in the first place.

Nope, I've done this and it works just fine. Netflix even allows you to watch from two devices simultaneously on one account (last time I checked.)

Frustratingly, I have this happen while using an Airport Extreme.

Make an appointment at the nearest Apple store for your baby.

FYI for you guys having trouble with 5.1: apparently the last Apple TV update broke something to do with Dolby (possibly only in the 3rd party apps?). I was so annoyed by 5.1 not making it to my receiver (a Denon E300, funnily enough) that I called Netflix to ask why it wasn't working - 5.1 support for the Apple TV is advertised on their site, after all. The Netflix rep that I got said it was a known problem and that they're working on a fix for it. The rep didn't know at specifics, or if the fix would be Netflix or Apples.

After the call I searched around for recent posts about the ATV and Netflix 5.1 issues and I found a handful of threads with people posting the same problems after the recent update - and even a few others that heard from Apple or Netflix that a fix is in progress.

I also have that problem with one of my ATVs - in addition, sometimes my ATVs show up twice in my AirPlay list (once with their name, and once as "Apple TV" and "Apple TV-LC" which has no correlation to their names.) Airplay has also been flakey - one of the ATVs won't airplay video, etc etc.

I think there are some bugs Apple needs to work out with the last ATV update.

I haven't caught up yet, was there any mention of multiple users? One of my biggest complaints with the Apple TV has been that apps like Music, Photos etc all are tied to my account. I'd like my wife to be able to listen to her music library and not have it effect my recommendations.

I hate having to push the on button, swipe right, input my passcode, click the remote app, and wait for it to load every time I want to hit one button, like pause.

This. I really wish the phone would detect if an aTV (or anything remote controllable) was on the network and put a shortcut for the remote app on that tray you can slide up from the bottom of the phone, even in the lock screen.
