Doesn't the Apple TV have the benefit of a display to set it up with i.e. the TV ? The Controller/Receiver combination of the Duet attempt to use a very clever trick be able to set the Receiver up over wifi. When in setup mode the Receiver creates an ad hoc wifi network that the Controller connects to in order to set it up. It certainly wouldn't be possible for Logitech to create an iOS app that reproduces this setup process. iOS simply doesn't grant apps the low level network access required to pull off this trick. One would hope that if Logitech did I future headless unit that they'd take the approach that routers do, make the user connect it via Ethernet and use a web server on the player for wifi setup. -- andynormancx Yes, it will.
