    Apple TV 6.0.2 Update (info and restore tips)
    (Update for 2nd/3rd gen Apple TVs. Same general change notes as v6.0.1.)

    Stability and performance Includes general performance and stability improvements.

    (Update/FYI: On Feb 21st, 2014 Apple posted a doc About the security content of Apple TV 6.0.2 which notes an SSL/TLS (Secure Transport validation) fix.)

    I don't own a newer (Gen2/Gen3) Apple TV but you can check for feedback in Apple's Apple TV forum. Later saw some a couple posts about HDCP errors after updating, with suggestions on trying tips in Apple's doc About Apple TV and HDCP. (And for anyone that missed it/has trouble restoring after an update problem, here's a previous post with Tips for Problems/Errors Restoring an Apple TV via USB Cable.)
