I was thinking the same thing. I don't know if it's worth it or not.

Most definetly! Stock Apple TV is pointless unless you have a huge collection of MP4 films on your PC/Mac.

Jailbreak... Install XBMC... Addon IceFilms plugin and stream 77,000+ Films and TV shows straight to your TV without needing computer on.

You can jailbreak an ATV?!?!?! seriously, I had no idea, I'm going to go read through the jailbreak forums to find out how and why. Is there access to free content....omg so excited to learn this....to think I was happy with a stock ATV!

XBMC is free to use, but when it comes to IceFilms well -- you get what you pay for there -- it's free to use and it makes use of uhh..shall we say non legit resources. If the quality isn't up to snuff for you, you can hardly complain about it. If you're picking up what I'm putting down..

I get what you are saying- I am trying to decide still on why I want it lol- I have netflix and two out of three of my TV's have blue ray that connects to netflix- I just ordered a vulkano flow to watch live tv on my iPad in my kitchen and other places- Third TV has DVD player but would consider a Apple TV if it brought something new to the table... Just getting netflix not enough-

So I got one from eBay and it's already jailbroken and has those. How do you add other stuff? Was looking for NHL network. Not sure if it's available. Do think I'm canceling Netflix.
