We've been on an Apple TV tear as of late, so how appropriate that the fine folks over at FireCore update their excellent aTV Flash (black) tool for Apple TV jailbreakers.

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.

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.

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.

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.
