2 Deliveries in the space of 10 minutes, the first was a blu-ray replacement from Amazon (was sent out yesterday delivered this merry morn) the second was my new AppleTV!
Hope you guys get yours soon.

Ordered on the 7th. It left china on the 29th and was sat in Arnhem for 3 days.
Its sat next to me now. Unable to test it as i'm at work
Mine is here! A colleague with a gen 1 Apple TV has looked at it and his old one is now 'obsolete' 
.
It's on my desk at work - very small! Smaller than I imagined...
Can't wait for 4pm to roll around!

It's arrived!!
My Apple TV arrived this morning and I have been playing around with it for about an hour. It's fantastic - videos and photos are displayed brilliantly. It may only display 720p but videos look absolutely amazing. I had an old Apple TV which I sold on Ebay when I heard about the new Apple TV. This is head and shoulders above the old one. I have a mac mini upstairs running 24/7.This holds all my photos and home videos so I don't need a hard drive. Also the fact that it only consumes 6 watts an hour means it is fantastically cheap to run. Well done Apple!!

Seems people who have phoned have had the reply 1 to 2 weeks for stock.
Mac Rumours thread on the subject!
Edwin
they didn't on Sunday, but my other half will be checking out Regent street branch today, will let you know.
They're in the shops
Just picked one up from Covent Garden!
They didn't have loads an they certainly weren't promoting them - they even had the old models for sale on the top floor but the new ones are on the ground floor, right at the back and to the right of the ipods.
Enjoy your shopping folks...

Quick question for anyone who has theirs.
I got mine today but have been unable to use the home sharing feature.
I have just moved into a new house and BT have still not switched on my broadband. With my old Apple TV you did not have to be connected to the Internet to stream audio and video from my home computer. The new Apple TV will not even find my computer, it keeps asking me to log in using my Apple id which I have done but it keeps saying it is 'not found'. I take it that the new Apple TV has to be connected to the Internet to set it up?

To use Home sharing it does need to be able to connect to the internet... I did not try any other methods of connecting as that worked straight away for me.. Do you have a MiFi that you could setup to allow the AppleTV and Mac to access the internet for a short time just to get it set up?
Anyone else seen them in the. shops?
I phoned Apple in Cribbs Causeway in Bristol yesterday and they said
they didn't expect them for a week or so! I will try both Apple stores
in Bristol tomorrow. May callin just in case they're hiding them!!

Someone else on this forum said that they were in the store..they also said that both he old and the new were in the store!! Not sure if this was a UK store or a US one.
Mine is out for delivery.
Sat at home, listening for van sounds...
Donny.
Did the van ever turn up?
It did thanks for asking - not long after I posted that actually. I'm very pleased with it so far, although no real surprises after watching dozens of reviews and unboxing videos! The hardware and software work perfectly and it's a massive improvement over using my PS3 for streaming, which is a tad noisy and prone to random "DLNA Errors". My only complaint at the moment is the lack of content in the iTunes store - but hopefully this will gradually improve.
Plus, why on earth does it cost more to buy a TV series on iTunes, in 640x360, than it does to get the DVD, which can be played anywhere and is better quality? Shouldn't downloads be cheaper, or am I missing something?
