BT keyboard support is awesome. I hate using the little remote to type in wifi-passwords. Especially since mine is 18 random characters.
Yeah, it sucks unless you use the iOS remote. That lets you use the iOS keyboard at least.

iTunes in the cloud is great, finally! I used iTunes Match originally to update all my old music files but let it renew because I liked have music access directly via my Apple TV without having to have a computer on or my iPad/iPhone handy; now I can cancel my iTunes Match renewal this year.
Okay so it doesn't have my ripped CD music, but I can live with that and Airplay when I cannot for the cost of saving $25 a year.
Finally, all purchased music videos can now be viewed on the Apple Tv.
Wondering if that would ever happen.
This has always been possible. I've had all 3 ATVs and never been a problem.
I believe this was added in a software update awhile ago. So maybe you're not up to date? My Apple TV is a 2nd gen too.
Unless you mean playlists for TV Shows and Movies from the cloud, in which case there are no playlists. This is just for movies and TV shows from computers.
Mine literally took 4+ hours yesterday. I just let it go since I wasn't using it anyway I assume it was just server congestion.How long is this update supposed to freaking take? Mines been stuck for 30 minutes it seems.

How about Bluetooth Audio for videos?
All my ripped CD music is in iMatch. Doesn't music not in iTunes just get uploaded into the iCloud via the iMatch system?
Remote app isn't working anymore on iPad 4 and iPad mini after 6.1 update....
Can't connect to Apple TV3, it sees apple tv and connects to iTunes library, but not to the apple tv.
Still works fine on iPhone 4S.
Where is the "iTunes in the cloud" feature located...?
When I go to the music app, it's still asking me if I wanna turn iTunes Match on...and believe me, I def don't wanna do that again...
I would soooo like to use iTunes in the cloud. Does it not show up because I'm still in my iTunes Match subscription period even though I turned it off...?

That alone may be reason enough to pick up an apple Bluetooth keyboard for the living room. When are they going to redesign the album/artist selection to resemble that of the new iTunes and music/remote app for ipad? The endless list of albums in a column with pointless non-selectable cover flow artwork filling 66% of the screen has got to go.[*]And the pleasant surprise: While in a menu with lots of items e.g. a list of music artists, pressing a keyboard letter instantly jumps to that letter in the list. No more holding the Down button! ZZ Top fans rejoice!

as far as im aware you cant browse the net on the apple tv,
but it has a processor capable of doing so.
would it be too much for someone to port safari to the ATV.
That would be nice.

And how would you browse pages, interact with roll down menus, follow links in text? This would be a horrible experience...
Apple's support site states that the new Bluetooth functionality only supports keyboards. Audio via Bluetooth is not supported, at least not officially.
Same here. IPad 2 and iPhone 4S. After updating 4 ATVs (2x2g & 2x3g) to 6.1 I can't reach them using Remote app on the iPad. But It works from the iPhone. I rebooted the ATVs, iPad & my Time Capsule but still no luck.
No Amazon Prime Instant Video = Fail !!
C'mon Apple...make your product more desirable.
