Apple slips out Apple TV 2.0.1 update

By Aidan Malley

Preparing the Apple TV's viewers for the weekend, Apple on Friday night patched its media hub to version 2.0.1.The fix, available through the Apple TV's own update utility, is not documented by the company and appears primarily to be a maintenance update.

However, a preliminary discovery reveals a Genres category under My Movies, letting owners browse by type.

The download represents the first minor upgrade to the Apple TV's firmware since February's Take 2 overhaul introduced a completely redesigned interface as well as support for iTunes movie rentals and streaming podcasts.
