Just curious if I'm alone on this or if other people are having the same issues.
Keep in mind that I'm now on my second AppleTV and both of them have had the exact same problems.
Main issues:
1) Stops numerous times during rented movies. Every 5 minutes or so, it will freeze up and return back the main menu and you have to reauthorize the movie again.
2) Let's say you're watching Season 5, Show #11 of a typical TV show.
You pause it and go make a cup of tea. When you get back, the screen saver is running. You click the remote but instead of it restarting the show where you left off, you're back at the main menu again. Now you have to literally click through numerous menu levels to get back to the show you were on.
3) It seems to run out of RAM memory quite often, lock up and shut down.
The only way to get it going again is to physically unplug it and plug it back in again. However, this also causes you to lose place in any movie you were watching and start it from the beginning again.
4) The AppleTV Remote control is on the same frequency as other items in your house.
For instance, mine operates the menu functions on my Haier Air Conditioner. I pause a movie, the air conditioner shuts off. I use the menu, it adjusts the temperature control.
