Apple released the first update for its new fourth-generation Apple TV today with tvOS 9.0.1.

The new tvOS 9.0.1 update is a minor update that mostly focuses on performance improvements and bug fixes that have been discovered after the device went on sale at the end of last month.

Official release notes for the update haven’t been sent out by Apple yet, so we’re not completely sure what new goodies are inside. Apple TV owners can grab tvOS 9.0.1 by going to the Settings app and then choosing ‘Software Update’ from the System menu’s options.

Developers received the a beta of the first major software update for tvOS last week. tvOS 9.1 beta 1 brought a few new features like Siri search in Apple Music. The beta also contains a number of bug fixes for issues with the AVKit, Networking, On Demand Resources, Remote, StoreKit, and UIKit.
