Will this remote work with Apple TV?

Yes, as the Apple TV is an Apple IR product released after 2005. That also includes the G5 iMac's to current, most modern Macbook and Macbook Pros, G4 and Intel Mac Mini's and Apple iPod Docks.

Quoted from item description (directly above these Q/As):
"Compatible with Apple products introduced in 2005 or later that have a built-in infrared (IR) receiver."

So yes, this will work with Apple TV

Furthermore, Apple TV can be programmed to recognize commands from virtually any infrared remote control

Actually, I just bought this new remote, and although the little yellow light on my 1st Gen AppleTV lights up each time I press a button on the remote, it does NOT, in fact, work. It works with my MacBook Air and my fiancee's MacBook, but does not appear compatible with my old Apple TV.

This new upgrade of the Apple Remote is compatible with Apple products introduced in 2005 or later that have a built-in infrared (IR) receiver. Thus, it is compatible with every AppleTV to day (seeing how the AppleTV was introduced later than 2005 and has a built-in infrared receiver).

Yes, although I am unsure as to the support for the additional button. The Apple TV may require a software update for full support.

According to the overview:

"Compatible with Apple products introduced in 2005 or later that have a built-in infrared (IR) receiver."

Apple TV began shipping in March 2007, so yes. According to the Apple website, the Apple Remote will work with the Apple TV.

I'm hoping so as I just orded one. But it does say "Compatible with Apple products introduced in 2005 or later that have a built-in infrared (IR) receiver." Notice it says Apple "Products" to me that says the Apple TV will work and I wouldn't see why it wouldn't considering the current remote works on both the Apple TV and Macs as well. But I will let you know when I get mine.

Yes, this remote should work with your Apple TV. You will have to pair it, though.
