AppleTV 2 to update or not to updrate?

Hate to disagree with the boss, but the nightlies have some show stopping issues (to me anyway) that you should take into consideration before using.

If you go with a newer ios then you need a nightly for hardware acceleration. But then you lose AC3/DTS support. See below:
(from Dn38416's post)
4.1 (8M89) = AC3/DTS not working
4.2 (8C150) = AC3/DTS unknown
4.2.1 (8C154) = AC3/DTS working
4.3 (8F191m) = AC3/DTS not working
4.3.1 (8F202) = AC3/DTS not working

Also, if you attempt to skip ahead during a video with the nightlies you will run into issues. The video slows down to a crawl and you have to stop and re-start it over.

That said, if you need video ts or iso support the nightlies are the only way to go.

If not, I would stick with 4.2.1 and last official build.
