I've speen a while trying to figure this out to no avail. On 4.3.1 Apple TV2's Onscreen Keyboard, I can't find some characters, in particular angle brackets (< and >). I know some characters can be accessed by holding select over the 'master' character, but none of them seem to have < and > in 4.3. They were present in 4.2 firmware version keyboard, which was of a different design. Thanks in advance!

I don't have an AppleTV so I'm taking a stab in the dark. What bracketing type of characters does the AppleTV have? Would the angle bracket characters not be under the parenthesis ( )'s, or right angle brackets [ ]'s? I would expect that there wouldn't be curly brackets { }'s built in, but they might be in the same location. – Jason Salaz♦ Jun 13 '11 at 6:43
I thought of that; and while it does have curly braces, I can't find angle brackets under any of them. It wasn't under any brackets at all that I saw. – MedTechDeveloper Jun 17 '11 at 14:31
Seriously? Curly brackets but no Angle Brackets? Scary... – Jason Salaz♦ Jun 17 '11 at 17:43

There never was a solution I found; but by using an iOS device (ipod Touch, iphone, ipad) and the Remote app, a full ability to type into boxes was enabled and allowed me to work around this problem.
