This is a warning to all of you to block your Apple TV from the internet by going into your routers settings and denying it internet access!
This does mean Apple may have the power to update your Apple TV, without you knowing it!
You should:
* Change the password on your apple tv
* Deny internet access to it.
* Failure to do either could result in a breach in your network or a broken Apple TV’
We have no proof of apple doing this but i know of 4 cases in our IRC, and my startup script to disable the firewall got its permissions stripped!
