    What do you LOSE by jail breaking the Apple TV 2

    You can't update when new software updates come out just like after you jailbreak the iPhone. But man is it worth it. I have an atv2 and after jailbreaking with season pass I loaded firecore to get xbmc. Xbmc has a lot of movie repositories as well as Hulu.

    Icloud Contacts double up with another iphone

    I agree. I use the same iCloud acct so my family of 4 can share the photo stream. I turned off all the other iCloud sync options and will use the iTunes wifi sync to our macs to keep backups.

    Do I need to "restore" in iTunes before upgrading to iOS5?

    Signal strength reported at 1 bar or less always

    I did the same as massie. Also a signal of -104 is not very good. In the -70 dBm is what your looking for. It will work in the low -100s but that's at the low end of the scale. Remember these are negative numbers so the lower the number the stronger the signal. I use Signal from Cydia to keep...

    Question about restoring jailbroken iphone.

    All Apple App Store data that would be saved during a sync on a non-jb device is saved on a jb device. If you want to get rid of the jailbreak just sync, restore, sync to backup and it's going to be there.

    Few questions before I jailbreak the phone......

    Your first statement is correct. Don't update to new firmware until a new jailbreak comes out. But it's a minor inconvenience most everything apple adds is already availble to jailbreakers. Before you jailbreak sync to iTunes. Not required but prudent. Using greenpoison doesn't delete anything...

    Upgrading to 4.2.1 and preserving baseband?

    How so you use TU to protect your baseband? I'm interested in either 4.2 or 4.3 when it comes out. I used pawnage tool for my upgrade to 4.1 to keep my baseband. I do use TU for the SSH BLOB backup but don't know how to save my baseband so I can go to 4.2.1 and beyond.
