As noted by AppleInsider, Apple has quietly pushed out a tiny update for its Apple TV. Users will notice a new 'Genius' option on the Apple TV menu when browsing through movies or TV shows.
The Genius feature has been available on iTunes for years now, helping folks discover new music based on their previous purchases. And now Apple TV owners can use it to find new video content...
Even with an iPad 3 launch almost certainly on the horizon, much of the tech world's interest still seems to be in Apple's mysterious TV set. According to the rumor mill, the iPhone-makers are expected to enter the television space at some point in the next two years.
And there's nobody pulling for that to happen more than Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster. Munster has been the source of several "iTV" rumors over the past couple of months, and now he's back with more gossip...
There's rumors, and then there's crazy rumors. And this one definitely falls in the latter category. The folks over at TechnoBuffalo are reporting that Apple's TV set is much closer to launch than we previously thought.
Citing a "high-ranking source with a major electronics retailer," the site is claiming that the Cupertino company is looking to debut its rumored television set as early as April of this year...
About an hour ago, Apple announced its biggest quarter in company history. Tim Cook's team sold more iPhones and made more money than Apple ever has in a three month period.
Also on today's list of Apple's broken records is the amount of Apple TVs it sold during the holiday quarter. Apparently, the little $99 media box is a $100 million dollar product for the company...

Included with the latest version are new video zoom options, and a Kindle Fire inspired "recent" pages addition to the web browser.
If you haven't noticed by now, we're pretty big fans of the Apple TV here at iDownloadBlog, and for good reason.
As we alluded to in our benefits post yesterday, the Apple TV is probably one of the best sub-$99 purchases that money can buy if you're looking for entertainment.
In this article, we'll show you another reason why the Apple TV is a must have, and once you own it, why you must jailbreak it. The answer? XBMC.
Apple has always stated that the Apple TV is more of a "hobby" device than a mainstream one, as its popularity level isn't even on the radar compared to hits like the iPhone, iPad or even iPod touch.
Still, there are many, many benefits to owning an Apple TV. There's iTunes movies and TV shows, Netflix streaming, access to NBA and NHL games, and iTunes match among other features.
But if you really want to reap the full rewards of owning Apple's marvelous $99 wonder box, you need to jailbreak it.
Why jailbreak the Apple TV? We'll touch on some of the major benefits that comes from doing so.
There's been a lot of talk over the last few months about Apple releasing its own TV set. While several pundits and analysts are expecting a game-changer from the iPhone-makers, others don't think the company has the experience to make it in the TV industry.
Apple's been indirectly involved in the TV industry since 2006, when it unveiled the first edition of its Apple TV set top box. But, as you can see from the above photo, Apple's been working on a way to invade our living rooms for over 15 years...

But there is a way to get Hulu running on the Apple TV right now. This guide will show you how to take advantage of the Seas0nPass jailbreak so that you can watch Hulu Plus on your Apple TV.
