This update made connection to Apple TV much worse. Before, we have seen a pop up on each connection/disconnection but it was immediate, now we don't see pop ups but the remote is connecting to the Apple TV soooo long - it shows Connecting message for about half a minute or maybe even longer. In this process, you cannot do anything if you are in a hurry and just have to turn your tv off - you have to wait. Why?
