At last Apple have updated the AppleTV to bring it in line with iTunes 8.0 and the new iPhone/iPod update. We can now create and play Genius playlists right on our TV’s. The update also adds some nice new features such as On-the-go playlists, HDTV Shows, Music Video playlists and finally a Standby option! There are also numerous security fixes that bring the AppleTV up to date with iTunes security wise.

To update your AppleTV just navigate to Settings > General > Update Software.

Mine had locked up when I turned the TV on (hopefully the new standby feature will help prevent this in the future) so I unplugged the power cable, reconnected it, and it automatically installed the update when it rebooted.
