Apple released the updated software for its iPhones, iPads, iPods and Apple TV last month and with the release of iOS 6.1.3 and Apple TV 5.2.1 the company patched the earlier jailbreak.

The Cupertino-based tech giant did patch many issues related to the devices and earlier software, however, users of Apple devices were looking forward to get their jailbreaks back impatiently.

Owners of second generation Apple TV have got some good news as the famous jailbreak for Apple TV, Seas0nPass, has been updated for the latest Apple TV 5.2.1. Now, users of Apple TV (second generation) that are running on 5.2.1 firmware can jailbreak their set-top box, but the jailbreak is not an unthered one and they will have to reconnect the box to their PC or Mac everytime they reboot it.

However, the users of Apple TV will be quite happy as they can use the jailbroken Apple TV whenever they want.

Apple released the 5.2.1 firmware on March 19 with an improved security and added the Hulu Plus option in the top navigation bar.

"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," a post on Hulu's official blog post mentioned.

The firmware also fixed the syncing problem users were facing with Netflix episodes. Users of the Apple TV confirmed the improvement after installing the updated firmware.
