Lost Connection

I have only just upgraded my itunes software to 10.6.1 on my Imac and my homeshare has died, up until i did this i was very happy with all apple products

and now i am very p*ss*d off. We have an apple tv 2 and Ipad and Iphones and i cannot stream any content let alone get a connection with apple tv. I have read alot of peoples posts here and everyone seems to be having the same problem not good enough apple. As i said everything worked perfectly till i updated to the new itunes software.

Home sharing with the new Apple TV / iTunes update is just broke. Only works for a bit unless you restart iTunes or disable / re-enable Home Sharing. Use to work great until the last updates. This is not a network (router, firewall, ...) issue - just a (bad) regression in Apples software. Hopefully they fix this soon, hard to believe its been broke this long already. The Remote app update also fails to connect to Apple TVs (but does connect to iTunes) for many people as well. Poor QA all around. :(

I have yet to see any suggestion that actually works other than reverting to previous versions of fwr / iTunes - which is a pain / joke to do.
