Hi Rick, I trust you will keep us all informed regarding your adventures with the fourth generation Apple TV. I will be curious how you get along without the optical audio out. They did say something in that article about Bluetooth, seemed to indicate that you might be able to connect to Bluetooth devices, possibly a sound bar? I wasn't really sure what they were talking about. They were very clear however, that the keyboard is not an option. Like you, I hope they are just wrong. Mary
