Same problem with apple tv 1st generation,tv menu only shows my tv shows tab, missing top, favorites, search, ect. I live in crestview Florida, i'm glad it's not just me with this problem, I almost went as far as buying another unit because I though my unit developed a glitch, I did everything others have tried ( restore, reset ), but same thing,I think apples trying to out phase the apple tv 1st generation to save money, I think apple is starting to become the bully in class, they are really losing site of why they exist, you can still buy shows on other devices and synch them to your unit. But it's extra steps-more time, apple should realize some people actually like having 160 g of memory on the apple tv, because you don't have to run your pc to view your content, like with the new apple tv, yes they are cheaper, but some of us actually have some money to spend, on complex usefull technology, i realilize most americans are completely braindead, but a few are'nt, I bought a Sony google tv yesterday, and we will see how that goes, the apple support staff needs their jobs so they always update and update, if it ain't broke, you don't need to reinvent the wheel over and over!!
So go ahead people leave me some irrelevant hate comments about my opinion, I look forward to ignoring them!!!
