Hi Scotty -
I'm a big fan of the newsletters you send out. Thanks for all the helpful information you put in them. I just have one question for you. I just purchased the new AppleTV and realized that I can't view my iTunes Extras or iTunes LPs from the AppleTV. Why would Apple do this? Thanks.

A few things to consider. The new AppleTV is based on Apple’s iOS and just as you can’t push extras and LP over to iPad or iPhone, you can’t view them on the new AppleTV either. There is hope. The new 4.2 software will be out later this month and this may be addressed. It may be because Apple has moved to the rental only model on the AppleTV going forward and renting a movie will most likely not include extras going forward. There’s no clear answer. Who knows. Apple may be abandoning it altogether. It could also be possible that because the AppleTV is flash based with no means to store data long term, that may not make for a good model to pull over extras or LP info. Streaming only. I really don’t know. It’s all just speculation on my part. We’ll see if they recover this function in 4.2 later this month.
Update: It is speculated that Steve Jobs replied in an email that these features will show up in future versions of iOS therefore AppleTV.
