I'm having the same problem. Artwork from Podcast Favorites are displaying the generic graphic, and because it doesn't list the podcast name until you select it, you really just have a grid of the same graphic with no way to know what they are.

I'll have to try removing and re-adding them, but I don't want to have to do this often as I have about 30 favorites saved.

I too am having this problem with no other solution but to delete and re-add to favorites, which is very time consuming and annoying—one of the many problems with ATV.

I really wish Apple didn't rush this product out the door and can only hope they do not start behaving this way with the rest of their products. perhaps they need a bigger staff instead of burning out the few they have.

I'm having this problem too. Sure, you can re-add each Favourite Podcast, but what's to say the Apple TV won't forget the Favourite Podcast artwork again? Why did it forget it the first time?

Perhaps it forgets the Favourite Podcast artwork if you turn the Apple TV off at the wall? Some would say don't turn it off at the wall, but it's the only way to make it usable again, whenever the Apple TV freezes up.
