We just checked and, yup, it’s there. Nothing obvious seems to have changed or been added, so this is likely a maintenance release to fix some bugs.
To update your Apple TV to the current software version:
1. Select Settings > General using your Apple Remote.
2. Click Update Software. At this time your Apple TV checks to see if an update is available and a download message should appear if an update is available.
3. Click Download and Install to start the download process (Important: Do not disconnect your Apple TV during the update process.)
Apple TVers, let us know if you find something new!
APPS there are APPS!!!!!!!
I don’t see anything different so far, either.
Does the old and new Apple TV get the update?
tt. Of course not. Diff platforms.
I wish they’d update the already pretty good NetFlix interface to include previews, year released on all instead of just some films, etc.
4.1.1 or 4.2.1? I’ve seen sites reporting different version numbers. This also happened when 4.2 was released. Confused….
Between that and MobileMe work tonight, meringue something might be a foot.
Meringue?
Methinks auto correct changed something…
It’s snappier.
The foundation for “iOS” on iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV may be related (just as iOS itself is related to Mac OS X), but the user interface and other higher level software is very different, especially for Apple TV. Therefore, there should not be any expectation that the version numbers for the three sub-platforms will stay in sync.
Any volume control from the iPhone Remote App? That would be sweet.
The only difference I see is I can no longer save favorite on YouTube. Not amused.
@ Spark
The TV’s volume is controlled by the TV, not the Apple TV. And the TV’s own remote control uses an infra-red (IR) signal to change sound volume.
Other products like TiVo provide a big IR remote control stick that you can “program” to use the IR signals that are recognized by the TV. Unfortunately, iPhone does not have built-in IR transmitters.
So there is no way to add this feature, short of an ugly third-party IR transmitter product that attaches to the iPhone. It may be possible to adjust the “line-level” sound output of the Apple TV (as the way to control volume), but that is probably not optimal for overall sound quality.
Still s l o w. . .
Why?! Our ATV v.1 streams fine. Next stop Genius Bar? Can I buy a clue here? Puzzling evidence.

Macintouch.com listed the following as what the ATV update includes:
Apple TV 4.1.1 (distributed through the device’s software update mechanism) brings two bug fixes:
* Addresses an issue that causes some high-definition TVs to incorrectly display at 480p.
* Addresses an issue that may cause a movie or TV show to be re-downloaded.
Is this an advertising website holding pattern?
What’s up with the links to web sites selling crap???
