Joe Rosensteel is far more negative on the Apple TV than I am, but I agree with a lot of the points in his piece. One thing I’d like to add to his list is the ability to sync the installed applications and home screen layout between multiple boxes.

We have an Apple TV in the living room and another in the bedroom, it’s irritating that I have to organize the home screen on both devices manually. If I install a new app or change the order of the icons, those changes should be reflected on both devices by making use of some sort of iCloud service.
