Alongside the release of iOS 6.1.3 earlier today, Apple also updated the Apple TV firmware to 5.2.1, adding a number of bug fixes – and, more interesting, an all new, completely redesigned Hulu app for the Apple TV! The new interface is designed to make content easier and quicker to access, featuring a new top navigation bar for switching between various categories.
From the Hulu Blog:
At Hulu’s development center in Seattle, we spend our time focusing on making the Hulu Plus living room experience delightful for our subscribers. We’ve redesigned the Hulu Plus experience from the ground up – making it even easier to find your favorite current season TV episodes and discover a new favorite show.
Right away, you’ll notice we’ve added content categories across the top navigation bar to make it easy to for you to jump to your chosen section – whether it is TV, Kids, Latino, Search, or something else. Inside each category, you’ll discover what’s new in our content library so it’s easy to discover new shows and keep up with the shows you already love. You can also jump into your favorite shows right away with the “Shows You Watch” tray. We built this to make sure you never miss a new episode or lose your place in a series.
The new interface looks and feels absolutely great, and is a welcome change from the previous Hulu Plus app for Apple TV. The new interface is only available in the latest version of the Apple TV software, released earlier today. To update your Apple TV to the latest version, enter the Settings menu on your device, then select General > Update Software.
Enjoy the new Hulu Plus app!
