Filed under: Software Update, Apple TV
TUAW reader Charles Kirschner writes in with the heads up that Apple TV software just updated to version 2.0.2. No word yet as to what this new release brings with it but my guesses are bug fixes. If you're near your unit, do us a favor and upgrade and let us know what (if anything) you notice that has changed. Thanks!To find out what version of Mac OS you are running, go to the Apple logo in the top left corner, click it and choose About This Mac. From that window you will see the version number, processor, memory and chosen startup disk. Clicking Software Update will check for updates, and More Info... will open up an extensive list of everything on your machine.

There is now an option for 1080p. I am pretty sure this wasn't there before.

Yep it has been there since the first 2.0 release. :)

I didn't notice the 1080p option before, but apparently it was there in at least 2.01. I bought mine after the take2 release, and there was no 1080p when I set it up. Update is installing now, not expecting much but happy about newfound pixels!

Have not noticed any difference yet. Am hope it is more stable and doesn't flake on the spinning art while listening to podcasts or the unusual "delays" in video.
Was ROCK SOLID in 1.0. Not so much since 2.0, but hopefully things will improve.

OMG! You can rent movies now. Whoaa!
But only for 24 hours after the click of that play button.

Does anyone know if it fixes the wifi bug in the previous release?

it will only show 1080p if your tv is capable of 1080p (via hdmi)
im sure this is just a bug fix update . .

Any word on if the new Apple TV UI will (or can) be ported to FrontRow?

I just updated mine and now there is no sound! Now what do I do??
Reply
motech said 9:07PM on 4-14-2008
try restarting your apple tv,
or check the sound settings
JerryR said 9:11PM on 4-14-2008
Strange... I finally just pulled the power cord and rebooted. That fixed it.

GREAT update... Fixed the My Movie Genre SLOW MENU ISSUE. Over all fixed a ton of the loading issues and slow menus.

Browsing HD video podcasts (in My Podcasts) that don't have artwork attached is much, much faster than before, too.

This update fixes the fast-forward and fast-rewind bugs. You can now use your remote to zip through movies, etc. at rapid speeds without hiccups or intermittent stops -- totally fast and seamless. Lovin' it!

Haven't done the update yet but since 2.0 I've had problems with the slideshow function (where it plays through 1 photo at a time). It doesn't work. Only the waterfall slideshow function works. Anyone else have this problem?
