Apple Releases iOS 4.2.1 Update for AppleTV 2G

Apple has released iOS 4.2.1 for the AppleTV 2G which addresses minor issues, but may be considered major for affected users.

Issues addressed:

• TV resolution fix: Addresses an issue that causes some high-definition TVs to incorrectly display at 480p.
• Download fix: Addresses an issue that may cause a movie or TV show to be re-downloaded.

To make things confusing, Apple TV reports the previous software version as being “4.1″, while we have heard that the new iOS 4.2.1 is referred to as software version “4.1.1″ by the Apple TV.

You can get this software update on your AppleTV general settings menu.
