Anyone think that it is feasible? Would make front row on the mac pro a possibility....

    The AppleTV doesn't have bluetooth does it?



    They should have used BT from day one, however.

    The only reason I can think of them not using bluetooth is accidental button presses, but it is a minor point. I imagine cost was a likely issue, and of course the battery life would be less with BT.

    Salling Clicker lets you use more or less any Bluetooth mobile device as a remote.



    It feels a bit sluggish at times, but works pretty well. You can configure it to work with more apps than just Front Row, which is nice.

    or Griffin's AirClick - not Bluetooth per se, but the benefits of RF: no line-of-sight required

    Adding Bluetooth support, while keeping the current IR would be great. I can program my Universal remote to control an Apple TV, along with my actual TV.
