Apple Updates Apple TV to 2.0.1
Apple quietly issued a new update to the Apple TV tonight. The 2.0.1 update is the first update since the Take 2 update that Apple announced at Macworld this year.
'Take 2' introduced Movie rentals, and revamped the entire Apple TV interface.
With such a small version increase, it may simply represent a bug fix release, but we will post a list of changes as we find them. Current Apple TV owners can download the update through their Apple TV "Settings" menu.
New Features:
- "Genres" option under "My Movies"

ohg good find, there's been a few issues with 2.0 I've noticed. Hopefully this will fix some (others it won't, like for example your own content being listed at the bottom of menus - below all store content!)
edit: Downloading now :)

I'd like to see Movie folders and playlists, like we have for music. That will make me most happiest. :)
My 40GB is out on loan, and my 160GB is at a friend's house, so I am stuck here AppleTV-less. :o

Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought the Genres section under Movies in 2.0 was related to the movies you could rent. I was referring to the Genres that I'm now seeing under "My Movies" in 2.0.1. Was that there before? I didn't think you were able to browse your own movies by Genre before.
