aTV Flash (black) 2.1 Released With New Features [Download Now]

The FireCore Dev-Team are starting the new year off right with a new version of aTV Flash (black) — version 2.1 — for those with Jailbroken second generation Apple TVs. According to their official blog ” this new version we’ve worked to included a number of highly requested features as well as a slew of other improvements, fixes and all-around goodness.” What this essentially translates into is new TV show playlists, customizable favourites and speed improvements.

It was also mentioned that the FireCore Dev-Team are working on some great things that will be available in the coming weeks/months. Hopefully one of these things is the long-awaited third generation Apple TV Jailbreak that they recently mentioned was out of their control.
