Apple TV 2.1 is now available
So you’ve been dying to use your iPhone/iPod Touch to control your Apple TV? The previous hacks were just way too hard to follow? Well, wait no more. Go do yourself a favor and download the latest software.
Apple TV 2.1 not only supports the newly-launched MobileMe service (well, actually just the Gallery feature), you can now use your iPhone/iPod Touch to control your Apple TV. To do this, you need the latest iTunes (version 7.7) and download the latest iPhone Remote app for use with your Apple TV.
Another exciting feature is photo thumbnails. No more boring slideshows. Not just slideshows. You can now go directly to the photos you would like to view by browsing through thumbnails. However, this feature does not work for “Shared Photos”. What’s up with that, Apple?
Anyhow, go download yours now.

THE 2.1 UPDATE SET PARENTAL CONTROLS AND LOCKED ME OUT IS THERE A BACK DOOR CODE SO I DON’T HAVE DO A FACTORY RESTORE??

Same as Robbel and @Musicman. I have apple tv with upgraded hard disk and 2.0., no other hacks. 2.1 Software Update fails. I think that I had to update to 2.0 by downloading the dmg, placing it in a “restore” partition and selecting software factory reset option. Don’t know if that will take care of firmware update too. Please help.

@Musicman - if you get your issue solved please post. I have the same set-up and cannot load v2.1. Unlike you I get a Update error and the offer to start over again.

I did the update to 2.1 and my iPhone works fine controlling it, but now my normal IR remote is not able to do anything, like reset the dang thing to factory defaults. So this now sucks.
