Since I upgraded to 4.2, I noticed the on YouTube, when I check out my subscriptions, the videos are no longer listed in order of most recent first. Now they are just in scrambled order. Anyone experienced this, or know how to remedy it?
Got a tip for us?

Software Fix Coming to Address Flickering Issues With Apple TV

Came here to post the same thing! I have a genre in movies called Children's that is doing the same thing. Never thought to blame the apostrophe. Unfortunately, with 2 year old twins it is our most used category. I don't want to rename 116 items though.
i dont care about some ghetto walmart TV's flickering.... i want them to fix my damn youtube subscriptions so they display from last to first.... makes no sense to display first to last considering i have to scroll through dozons of screens to see the latest videos
I'm hopeful that this will work for my parents. I got them an Apple TV for Christmas and it has been almost totally unusable, with the screen turning magenta and green every few minutes. It's embarrassing, since the "major" Christmas gift we got them doesn't even work without a software update that comes out almost 3 months later.
If you look at Apple's support forums you'll see that this problem seems to affect most Philips TVs (which my parents have) and many Sony TVs as well. Not exactly "ghetto walmart TVs."

When will Apple learn....
When will Apple learn that secret "surprise" product announcements and open, thorough beta testing of products are not compatible?
Maybe the next Apple CEO will believe that product quality is more important than "rock star keynotes".

I just want them to update my iPod touch. I'm sick of the stupid flickering amd disapperaing of things, especially on the notification bar i actually look at it for wifi and battery. The disappearimg part is even more annyoying, but the flickering sucks too.

Well, in this case (the Apple TV 2) there was a developer release done several weeks ago. In fact, I even reported a bug to Apple that happened in the iOS 4.3 beta for the iPod touch (related to home sharing, which was not fixed, but it was very minor).
In iTunes just right click on the genre and edit them all at the same time with just a single change.
Instead of dorking around with this in ATV2, what about real problems for corporate users!
look up search domains errors iOS4.3 why is nobody talking about this huge problem?
it basically changes the url from http://mywebserver to http://mywebserver.domain.local or your site doesn't load!!!
wtf!

I'm still not feeling the urge to upgrade from ATV1, but I'm open to discussion.
Am I correct in thinking that if you want to watch a movie you own on ATV2, eg. one you've bought from iTunes, it has to be present on your computer and your computer has to be on?
If that's the case, I think a MobileMe upgrade that lets it act as a media cloud for ATV2 might be the buying encouragement I need.
Presently I sync the file to the ATV1 from the computer, then I delete it from the computer, but it stays on the ATV until I watch it. (I back them up on an external drive too)
The Netflix app does look a lot better than the PS3 Netflix app.

You are correct. That is one annoyance I've encountered since I purchased the ATV2. Your computer has to be on and connected to the network, of course. Most times it's not a problem, since I play around on my computer while watching movies and stuff. But, I would love to have the cloud.
I'm not so certain this update is coming. I just got off the phone with AppleCare and this is a known issue with engineering, but the technician said they MAY release an update to address this. She did not sound convinced.
Furthermore, AppleCare stressed that the Apple TV 2 is meant only to be HDMI only. For most folks that are experiencing this flicker issue is due to an older HDTV from SONY, Samsung, Hatachi, and Panasonic that are usually DVI inputs. This is exactly the case for me.
Btw, you can't downgrade the iOS back to 4.1 as I asked to do. AppleCare's best recommendation to me was to return the Apple TV 2 and buy a new one hoping that it will still be on 4.1. How's that suggestion!?!
