There's clearly a difference between our interpretations of fiddling here. To me fiddling means keep changing settings/pulling cables etc etc to try to correct a persistent problem. This has never been my experience with the tv. There have been reboots, but I don't perceive the 6-10 times this has occurred between 5 units over nearly 3 years to be counted as an issue (especially when I often try to cause them problems in order to...

Not really, just that if you set up to sync then change to a new iMac sync librarythe sync will have to happen again.

you should report the issue here - http://www.apple.com/feedback/appletv.html this is just a user-to-user support forum, with no input from apple. no-one here will know when (or if) any particular issue is likely to be fixed (or not). the only official way of reporting issues is via the link above.  MBP C2D 2.4GHz  Mac Mini G4  AppleTV  iPhone 3GS 32GB  iPod Classic 80GB   Mac OS X (10.6.2)

Also, as far as order in concerned, you may be able to fit it all, do Sync photo choosing All and Sync Photos Before Other Media, if photos are important to you on the TV, because you can't stream them. I would also attempt to Sync all your music and movies as well. In my case, I Sync all my photos and music, but have so many movies that I stream most of them, syncing only a few. On the Summary page you'll want a Custom Sync and...

I have a very strong love hate relationship with my Apple TV - I love what it is supposed to do (and manages to do if the wind is in the right direction) but hate all the problems (especially the various problems that seem to be fixed by a restart). That sums up my feelings exactly. The various problems that seem to be "fixed" by a restart result from the ATV's anemic hardware, IMHO. The only permanent fix for that will be a...

Figured this out on my own. Had to do with a music video that had worked its way into the playlist by the way it was set up. ATV was set not to include music videos so it didn't include it when syncing. I changed the smart playlist--problem solved.

Sorry for the confusion. You can not downgrade to ATV firmware 3.0, the only down grading you can do is a factory restore which takes you to the firmware version that came with your ATV. In my case thats v1.0 I think the source of your confusion is that I upgraded to 3.0.0, and then the very next day 3.0.1, so I have referenced both in this thread. You make an interesting point, about Boxee. Does Boxee only work with v3.0.0, and not v3.0.1?...
