I'd wait to see if others have the same problem if you're currently using a universal remote.
This is all very strange, I've been using my Harmony remote w/the AppleTV from the first day ( it's been over 4 months) without any issues, go figure. Applying the latest update did not erase the hard drive, but then I'm constantly changing the synced content in iTunes on the drive to keep it lean and clean.

- Installed without erasing my content. I taught it to work with my TV remote control, it's a very cleverly easy interface.

(4 Comments)Navigation is still very slow to respond. Love the volume control and AirTunes streaming. Shame they only apply to music and not videos!
