For those of us that bought two, excellent idea!For the current price of $79, you'd be better off just buying a second Apple TV for another room in your house and using that remote, when needed, to play multi-player games.

Sorry, I know I'm being pedantic, but you are using dpi wrong. I think you mean 720p and 1080p. Those are descriptors of the number of lines of pixels on a progressive scan display. Dpi is dots per inch (interchangeable with ppi, or pixels per inch, on a digital display) and is arch lower figure on TVS (because you are sitting for back, so you don't need it to be high.)
A 37" TV (roughly the average TV size) has a ppi of 40 at 720p or 60 at 1080p. On a 4K screen the ppi only goes up to 125. The original iPhone had a ppi of 163, for comparison (back in the pre-retina days)
The exchange rate is really hitting Apple prices hard. $269 AUD for 32gb is insane. I dread what the iPad Pro price will be

you can just hold the menu button down and it would do the same thingI am an easy sell. I am just happy it has a home button on the remote now!! Haha. I hated to keep having to hit menu like 10 times to get back the the home screen. Especially when it starts lagging and you have to wait to hit the menu button for it to actually does something.
one can also hold down the select on an app and move it around on the screen, re-order your apps... there are a lot of gorilla tricks with the apple tv, can't wait to find all the new onesHold the menu button down - jumps right to home screen.
And since it's a digital signal I would assume there wouldn't be any noticeable video or audio decline?There are switches that switch automatically when they get an input signal - nothing to do and works like magic. Might not work for the apple tv since that one has no true on/off - but if you put your other two devices (e.g. cable and game station) on it, you should be fine. I had one for years before I upgraded my TV and I rarely had to touch the buttons to switch by hand.
Or alternatively (what I used on my other older TV): most programmable remotes can also control HDMI switches - so you go once through the pain of setting up the remote and than you can store all the remotes in a safe place, use only one programmable one, and have (almost) unlimited HDMI ports at your disposal.
Wow, an extra remote costs more than half the price of the 32 GB box. Looks like they're ratcheting up the Apple Tax to an extreme. I'm sure they'll likely drop the price of the extra remote by $20 or $30 when they realize that they aren't selling as many as they'd like to.

LOL at $79 remote.
Just like the $129 Magic Trackpad 2... Apple are getting greedier every day.
Australia $269 / $349 + $35 AppleCare - ouch.. Might wait until the reviews are in and apps are out..
Yes I know that but a better exchange rate means lower Australian prices. They have been affordable and some way reasonable up to the middle of this year. It's the exchange rate that's pushed them this high. 2 grand for an iPad means I won't be buying the Pro.It's not even the exchange rate its profit driven, for example look at similarly priced products and compare each country...
US store ATV 64gb $199 iPod touch 16gb $199 Beats Solo2 $199.95
AU store ATV 64gb $349 iPod touch 16gb $279 Beats Solo2 $259.95
Where does the extra $80/90 come from, price gouging!

Yeah I knew it was going to expensive in Australia, but not that expensive. I am going to wait.
Wow! I feel dumb now. Had my Apple TV 3 since day one. Had no idea that you could do that. Well at least I know how to now for the rest of this week before the new one comes in hahaha.you can just hold the menu button down and it would do the same thing
Yeppers. Mine just charged too..W00t. My credit card was charged, so I assume shipment is imminent.
-t
Can't tell if mine was actually charged or if the pending charge is the initial auth. I forget, Apple hits the card for a small amount ($0.00 or $1.00), then the actual amount when its about to ship, right?Yeppers. Mine just charged too..
