Apple just sent out an urgent email to Apple TV owners to alert them of a necessary, immediate upgrade to Apple TV software version 3.0.1.

The email to Apple TV owners:

Dear Customer,

2. Select Settings > General from the main menu

3. Select Update Software

4. Select Download and Install

Note: Your Apple TV will conduct a restart, which is followed by the Apple logo and a status bar.
