How about actively adding more/better content? Xbox is constantly adding apps like vevo, Today, SyFy, Comcast, ESPN, IGN, etc. Even Twitter & Facebook. The NBA, MLB & NHL apps on ATV are cool, but I'd like to see something more exciting than WSJ. They've had enough "hobby" years, start getting serious and utilize that iOS power...

Do yourself a favor and don't install 5.0.1. My Apple TV was working great untill i installed the update now after watching 2-10 minutes it loses connection with my library so i have to restart everything only to loose the connection AGAIN

I don't know what happened to your setup. Updated my AppleTV (the 720p version) to 5.0.1, everything is peachy. I hope my experience is the majority.

I had a totally opposite experience with this update. Prior to this update, my ATV would see my shared computer, but would endlessly just spin while trying to connect to its contents. In the rare instance it did connect, video would be choppy and pixelated. After installing this update everything works great, with an immediate connection and fast video streaming.
