Jan 21, 2012 3:08 AM in response to sbowmanby Alley_Cat,I wasn't aware there was a new update.
They posted some time back that upgrading some versions cause this issue but not the last incremental update i can remember.
I can understand your frustration but presumably it's an effect of your previous firmware or they'd have altered the newest one to preserve the setting as it used to.
What version are your running - must check to see if there's a new version.

Not much help after the event I grant you but it may have been inevitable.

Jan 21, 2012 1:25 PM in response to Alley_Catby sbowman,Yes. Apparently before I update my Apple TV I should go online and check with them. Probably wouldn't have updated, given that it doesn't look like the update really did much for me.
It was when the update went from 4.2 or 4.3 (I don't remember which I had) to 4.4. Then right after that there was another update, to 4.4.4. That one, fortunately, didn't cremate my settings.
But like I said, the update doesn't appear to do anything. I haven't really had any problems with Netflix or iTunes purchases in months, and I've never had any network connectivity issues with wifi streaming movies from my MacMini. Maybe they are fixes that are more appropriate for Windows users.

Jan 21, 2012 1:30 PM in response to sbowmanby Alley_Cat,Sometimes it's tricky to fathom what an update has given you if anything - always easier if it breaks something you use!
I'm not one for updating for the sake of it to be honest if things are working, however there are often security fixes as part of the update process that are not explicitly described so probably best to have them up to date.
