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"
