THANKS!!!

Re: Apple TV Jailbreak

3rd Generation AppleTVs can not be jailbroken... have to go with a 2nd, or first generation...

Re: Apple TV Jailbreak

Is the second generation missing anything that is present in the third generation?

What are all the differences between the black 3rd Gen Apple TV and the 2nd Gen Apple TV? Which one is best for me? @ EveryMac.com

The 3rd gen AppleTV puts out 1080p video...but it’s NOT jailbreak-able...
The 2nd gen Apple TV puts out 720pp video... but it IS jailbreak-able...
The 1st gen AppleTV (white) is crap...

Are these the only differences? What am I getting with the Jailbreak? I'm quite familiar with JBing and iPad or iPhone, not an apple TV though...

Re: Apple TV Jailbreak

Let me google that for you

I've done this before, I was looking for a more personal account rather than a review. You probably could've spent a few more minutes and told me why YOU like your apple TV and what YOU use it for, rather than show me how to use google.

You want me to personally explain why 1080 is better than 720?

It's not like the specs are worlds apart nor complicated to understand. You're not going to get anything out of "personal accounts" that you don't already know yourself. I can't tell you if you care about that difference.

I can't tell you if you care to get a few "channels" or pay for extra functionality after a jailbreak. You've already said you're "quite familiar" with jailbreaking. Would you like me to hold your hand through what you already know?

I use my Apple TV as an expensive, but wireless, "cable" between my other Apple products and TV. Oh man, that was such a surprise. =/

Re: Apple TV Jailbreak

By Channel, do you mean a live TV feed (such as I can turn on ESPN or ESPN 2, and see whatever is playing on cable) or an interface where I can stream previously aired television (such as Hulu)?

She's talking about seas0npass and their software, aTVFlash. It is not free.

With the jailbreak there are many channels/repositories that you get. I would suggest going to eBay and searching jailbroken Apple TV to see all the possible channels. There are way too many to list.
