With the Apple TV iOS 5.0.1 (iOS 5.1.1 Build 9B206f) Untethered Jailbreak being released last week what better time than an aTV Flash (black) update than now? The FireCore Dev-Team have recently tweeted that they have updated aTV Flash (black) to version 1.6 which actually includes a lot of improvements.
These improvements include integrated subtitle downloads thanks to OpenSubtitles.org, expanded codec support, refined video playback, improved networking, additional translations and much more.
