Netflix HD with out the "HD" and knowing what tv episodes you watched.

No I don't mean that Apple TV2 doesn't show Netflix in HD, Netflix HD content looks fine. However I think this might be an oversight, but there is no "HD" badge for HD content on Netflix. Not that I'm an HD snob or anything, but it's nice to be able to pick movies on Netflix that are high def. Any chance this will come in an upcoming firmware update?
Another oversight is on both the Xbox 360 and the Wii tv shows you watch on Netflix at least tell you what percentage of a tv show (or movie) you watched. This is helpful in keeping track of where you left off in a television series. Unfortunately Apple TV isn't showing any such data, so you could get lost easily if you don't remember which television episodes you watched last with in a tv series. Even the blue dot / half dot used for podcasts would be useful, but not having a marker is extremely inconvenient.

I would expect it to come in the future by update. Apple always seems to be more concerned with appearance over content or function in initial releases. Take the iPad for example... a big iPod Touch that is actually less functional than the current iPod Touch. Luckily in the case of the ATV, at least most of the shortcomings can be addressed by firmware.
