Apple TV Special Report: Interference with wireless phones

Some users are reporting interference with wireless phones that are in the vicinity of the Apple TV -- an inherent difficulty when wireless devices are using the same spectrum -- 2.4 GHz and up.

MacFixIt reader Ray Sharpe writes:

"My wireless phones are virtually unusable while my Apple TV is syncing. Once I tell iTunes not to sync all the interference is gone. Looks like I'll have to sync after hours."
