Ordered at 10:30 EDT, 32GB. Charge for shipping (and tax on shipping...WTF??) charged immediately. The remaining balance was charged an hour ago. "Still processing"...
Anyone know if Apple have fixed the Netflix app on the new ATV? The old ATV3 can not even get 1080p in Netflix.
I have no problem getting 1080p on the ATV3. Some of their content (like e.g. their original series) looks fantastic.
Can't fix problems that don't exist. If Netflix looks like crud on your TV, your network is to blame.
Errm no. Netflix works fine on my Xbox one, PS4 and Chromecast. I have a 100MBps Cable connection. Plenty of people having the same issues btw. See below links.

Im not here to bash the ATV, i really want to be able to use it for Netflix and genuinely wanted to know if the new ATV had sorted the issues.

I ordered 32gb and selected overnight by noon, fastest shipping. Delivers to Missouri.
How do you know its hitting 1080p? I use the test video on netflix to test and it only gets to 720p max.
Imagine the chaos if free shipping orders arrive along with expedited ones? Imagine if a free shipping order arrives days earlier? 
I bought the new Roku 4 on day one, and it is now set up. it has more power and a better WiFi format. Roku was always fast, now it is faster, and streaming looks slightly better as a result. Buying a new 4K TV soon, so I will be using the Roku 4K format. I do expect to see the difference based on viewing 4K next to 1080 at Best Buy. I think the set you buy may also make a difference. The new Samsung 4K sets, for example, have upgraded a lot of their PQ features anyway in the 2015 models, so the difference in PQ will be real.
I purchased the new Apple TV 4 this morning. The streaming was always better looking on the Apple TV over Roku by a small margin, but the Roku 4 closed that gap. But the new Apple TV 4 will allow us all to put our iPad apps and iPhone apps on the Apple TV screen, thus negating the need to take the extra steps to air play. That is a very nice feature. We all have apps on our mobile devices that we air play. Now, those apps will be on the screen. And, since the new box has more power and better wifi, I assume the picture quality will improve slightly, just as it has on the new Roku 4.
I wonder if any of you know if we will have to sign up for all the apps we have now again on the new box, or whether the new box will allow us just to port our mobile apps and the apps we have now on Apple TV to the new screen without additional steps added. In other words, if we have HBO Go, will we have to download it again and sign in again on the new box. If so, that will be time consuming, given all the apps we have now.

Did anyone else get a phone call from Apple regarding their Apple TV order? I wasn't home for the call and wondering what it was about.
My first time ordering directly from Apple, is this common?

have you tried contacting Netflix directly? I had a similar problem with Hulu on one of my mobile devices and they were able to do something on their end via their system and it solved a lot of issues I was having. Just a thought.
Well, got the shipping notification for the Nimbus at least
Arrives on 10/27...here's hoping the ATV gets here early!
