FireCore has released another update to its hugely popular software for jailbroken second generation Apple TV's (2010, 720p version). The new 1.6 release includes a raft of new features and improvements, the most interesting being the ability to download subtitles for movies in your collection on the fly.

Hot on the heels of the new Seas0nPass release we're happy to present to you a brand new version of aTV Flash (black). Version 1.6 adds a bunch of great new features including integrated subtitle downloads, expanded codec support, refined video playback, improved networking, additional translations and a truckload of other improvements and bug fixes.

Still nothing concrete on the release of a jailbrealk for the latest Apple TV (2012, 1080p version) but we are sure all parties are still working hard on that. If you’re looking for the full change log, you’ll find it below. If you really don’t need the full details and just want to get yourself updated, version 1.5 is available now from the Firecore website. If you're already running a version of aTV Flash (black) the new 1.6 version can be installed through the Maintenance --> Manage Extras menu.

  • The Church keeps its word and is absolutely firm in its commitment to not accept the names of Holocaust victims for proxy baptism. It takes a good deal of deception and manipulation to get an improper submission through the safeguards we have put in place. While no system is foolproof in preventing the handful of individuals who are determined to falsify submissions we are committed to taking action against individual abusers by suspending the submitter's access privileges. We will also consider whether other Church disciplinary action should be taken. It is distressing when an individual willfully violates the Church's policy and something that should be understood to be an offering based on love and respect becomes a source of contention.
  • Go go.it's inter gather hunk here looks ,
  • When I started caching, I was uneasy about the cemeteries. I got over that fear pretty quickly. I have JuneNY to thank for that. She has done a great service in finding quite a few older cemeteries in our area. Others have contributed as well, speaking of doing the BSLS series, and seeing Little Cross at the beginning. Little Cross was probably a very beautiful tribute some time ago. It still has some of that hidden treasure charm to it though. One thing I've noticed, is that a lot of the older sites have no walls, gates or fences. Newer ones seem like a prison. I think that echoes your sentiment about how people used to see things differently. Unfortunately, the gates and walls are needed to keep vandals out, but at the same time, gives it a dark and eerie feeling. My Grandmother is buried in the Plains, where Beth has a cache. I go visit every once in awhile. But, its tough to not feel like I'm visiting a prisoner behind those gates.
  • I've worked in international romance for over 15 years and I've worked for all the major companies around the world. I quit working for them because of all the deception and fraud. Sadly about 75% of ALL paid online communication, e-mail, live chat, ...is not real.
