Today's AppleTV update is a little baffling.

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Does anyone know why it is being done this way? The version I had installed was 4.4 (3140) and it said there was an update. Then it downloaded the exact same version and erased all settings (network, home sharing, etc.). Once that is done, it updates again to 4.4.2 (3160).

Does anyone know why it is going through the process of basically "installing" the same firmware that is already installed and doing a factory reset, then downloading new firmware? It's not that big a deal, except I have three Apple TVs and there is a lot of stuff to program again, three times.

Well, I guess I should have just done a search before posting this. It seems there were problems with 4.4 and 4.4.1, which I never got. In order to avoid problems with the 4.4.2 fix that just came out today, the device needs to be reset, so the automatic update does that automatically, then updates on a second go around to 4.4.2.

Weird. I was gonna update mine, glad I didn't.
