Apple has released a new update for Apple TV, Apple TV Software Update 2.3.
Here’s what’s new in Apple TV 2.3:
| Feature | How To |
| AirTunes Streaming from Apple TV | Music can be streamed via AirTunes to Airport Express speakers or other Apple TVs in your house. |
| Third-party Remote Controls | Apple TV can now learn other remote controls and use them in addition to the Apple Remote. |
| Playlists | Playlists in iTunes that contain Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, and Music Videos can now be seen on Apple TV. |
| Music Volume Control | Support for volume control in Music. |
