I have a Yamaha amp HDMI to switch with my AppleTV Before updating to 3.0.1, the AppleTV played, started back up after shutdowns from the menu. After updating to 3.0, and then 3.0.1 I can not resume from shutdown and have resorted to unplugging the unit and then plugging it back in again.
Same problem with a Denon 4810ci receiver. Went back to component for AppleTV. Fortunately the Denon can convert the component from the AppleTV out to the TV via HDMI. So far .. no more resume issues .... so far ! 😉
I believe this to be a Apple Software problem as all was working ok till we updated to 3.0.1. If I Pull the Power cord out and put back in The Apple TV comes up ok. It is just it will not wake from sleep mode.
Apple TV connected to Yamaha RX V 2600. Worked for over 1 year without Problems with Software 2.x (i did all Updates).
Now Apple TV 3.0 and 3.0.1 does not wake up after Standby anymore. The Front LED is also not flashing when in Standby. When i wait a while Screen switches black from blue (blue is my Philips "no signal screen) and the ATV starts flashing the LED orange and reboots. Afterwards i get a Language Selection Screen and i can restart, diagnose or do a Factory reset on the ATV.
This is very bad... only solution is powering off and on the ATV or to wait until it reboots...
I have exactly the same problem. Using belkin hdmi switch. just bought new apple tv 160gb. also have popcorn hour. UI on appletv wins hands down but playability and bugs just very very very DISAPPOINTING.
Same problem here, see my posts on this forum. My equipment include a Sony AV receiver, a Panasonic HDTV. My ATV was first connected to the receiver thru and XtrmeMac HDMI switch which I took off thinking it may be the cause, and connected directly thru the receiver. Just the mere fact of switching HDMI will render the screen black (no signal form ATV). MY ATV is version first gen version 1 and has worked fine thru all upgrades until 3/3.01. This has been very frustrating and the only solution I can come up with is to fashion an easy way to power ATV off and on after each use. I am hoping for a quick reliable fix for this disastrous upgrade form apple.
Same problem here with the last sw update, after shutdown the atv becomes a brick until power is cycled. Maybe one day I will learn to ignore updates...
