AppleTV software update in Feb

Steve's Macworld 08 keynote is over, he's announced a pile of stuff, but of most importance to the AppleTV lovers out there, is the release of a software update for AppleTV due in Feb. The interface looks new, the ATV will be able to buy or rent content directly from iTunes store without a computer. Standalone ATV? With this news I expect to see some concerned ATV hackers. Will this new software update work on my hacked ATV, will it remove my hacks? Will I be able to re-hack the ATV once it's upgraded? is this version 1.2? so many questions! I know I'm concerned! On the bright side there will be DVD and HD (720p) with Dolby 5.1 movie playback/rentals. (highly unlikely we will see rentals in Australia, we cant even buy tv shows or movies through iTunes yet!) I'll be adding more information as I get it from macworld punters!
