Right now the new firmware is mostly being rolled out to UK and German versions of the FireTV. Not many in the US have gotten the new firmware unless they manually update it. All reports I've seen say your best bet is to get it from Staples or Best Buy as opposed to straight from Amazon. If you order straight from Amazon, they do a pre-purchase configuration which includes updating it to the most recent firmware and signing you in with your Amazon account so it's setup when it arrives. I don't know for sure that the one I ordered today will still be on an older firmware, but I like my chances.

In addition, when you first boot up the FireTV, it will ask to update the firmware then, but if you follow this guide, you can boot up a new one without losing root:
