Make it like a bidirectional slingbox - make the tv connector a pass-through for some other input device with the ability to capture and transmit that input to another similar device (tv in another room) or your computer - or perhaps your iphone. This also eliminates the need for an extra input connector on the TV.
Internet browser with wireless USB keyboard and mouse.
Simple Music Quiz games
A proper power down stand by
Correct the always on HDMI signal when on standby which confuses auto source detection on HDMI switch boxes.
Boot Linux from CD/DVD drive connected to usb

	Anonymous	Want to see more customization of Library options	0	May 11 2007, 10:27 PM EDT by Anonymous
		Thread started: May 11 2007, 10:27 PM EDT Watch in addition to continuous playback of ALL media on Apple TV controllable from Apple TV I'd like to see something like an iTunes server program from apple. Something that could zone Apple TV usuage for various family members. Since all types of movies get clumped into the library directory and you need more then one machine running itunes to serve all of your apple tvs it seems like a waste of resources for apple tv to be so limited in this aspect. 1 machine should be able to handle all end user profiles and be smart enough to know that i've watched a movie on one apple tv it's status on another apple tv shouldn't be modified. Apple please understand that people aren't exactly this much in need of dumbing down your products as you do. we can handle a bit of customization here and there. Do you find this valuable?
