Apple TV 2.3.1 Update Released

Apple last night pushed a minor update for the Apple TV, bringing the system to version 2.3.1. Apple has not yet updated their support page listing changes for each update, although they may only do so for major releases, as the page does not contain an entry for the minor Apple TV 2.0.1 update from last March.

User reports have not noted any obvious major changes to the software, although the update does disable Boxee and other third-party add-ons.

I downloaded and everything seems fine after re-installing audio and video codecs, Couch Surfer and vim. But yeah, it wiped out everything I had there previously. I wasn't running Boxee, though. Took it off after they cut Hulu.

You and me both. Yup was prompted for an update. So far no complaints. Did a few movie and music tests. Doesn't seem to be any bugs... but then again, I could be missing something and not even know it! :)

It feels like there were a few bug fixes. Navigation appears to be more responsive. However, that could just be my particular device.

We won't know until Apple gets around to publishing the tech note.

Is it snappy?

Seriously, does it fix the intermittent super slow download speed of HD content? It even does that on HD movie trailers. I have to reset the AE and Cable modem to temporarily fix it. Then its back to slow HD again after a day or so.

One thing I noticed is that it tells you when it is syncing with iTunes now instead of simply becoming unresponsive.
