  • awesome, thanks

  • everything is good when when i connect to ethernet or wifi the apple tv goes blank..???? WHYY???

  • every time i type in my ip # it gets cconnection refuse what am i doing wrong

  • @emtywasn its possible that you previously jailbroke your aTV and restored it. When you rejailbroke it, you need to reset the password string. Its simple, follow the instructions on my video how to fix remote host identification error for aTV 2. That should fix it unless I am not understanding correctly. It's either that, or you are not successfully jb i believe.

  • Can you have it plugged into your computer instead during this process? Or does the atv need to be connected to a TV?

  • do they have an update for icefilms

  • That's great. Everyone shows us how to do it on an Apple computer. How do you connect to the Apple TV with PuTTy??

  • Hey men I am having trouble understanding the password that is the one that I need to type my new password.. can you help me with that please ?

  • what can you do with a jailbroken apple tv?

  • hey man thanks so much for this video, really explained well and all worked, even though i stuffed up heaps of times on the code crap it still worked heaps good.

  • SNAP! Works like a charm! Great tutorial

  • Now ii got it to the killall and says error?

    typed killa apple tv and did nothing but give me the AppleTV boot again??

  • @flierl360 Nevermind just looked i finally got it thanks for the Video

  • gettin E: .deb unknown or something like that any suggestions would be sweet thanks

  • My killall Lowtide isn't rebooting the appleTV?

  • @kdevlin1983 type killall AppleTV

  • @LetsKeepItSimple4 when i type in this command i get this massage ..... do you now what to do??

    Apple-TV:~ root#

    deb> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/awkwar­dtv.list ./echo

    -sh: deb: command not found

  • when i type in this command i get this massage ..... do you now what to do??

    Apple-TV:~ root# deb> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/awkwar­dtv.list h t t p -.: / / a p t . a w k w a r d t v . o r g  ./echo

    -sh: deb: command not found

  • E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

  • i dont get how the jailbreak for the apple TV works does it mean that you can watch any movie or tv show for free????????????

  • When I try to ssh into the Apple TV for the first time I get a connection refused error. I've tried on Ethernet and Wifi but no luck. Ideas?

  • LOL this TUT is not for NOOBS so u might want to find a user friendly one. As a computer geek I got it and was simple to me. Thanks for the tutorial!!!

  • Great video but i don't understand at all..hihii already jailbreak apple tv but next step i do,nt know how to do .....b/c my pc windows....that why ..if you don't mine do you send me instruction to set up my apple tv tnanks email minhtoantran@yahoo.ca thanks alot

  • Great video just what I was looking for I will try to install nito tv when I get home thanks

  • This is no longer needed with Greenpois0n.

  • does anyone know how to get the aptv2g xbmc to see you library for videos?i can't stream anything from my Mac, because the aptv xbmc doesnt see it/

    any help would be greatly appreciated

  • i figured it out, now all i need to know is if the aptv should be plugged it as soon as i run terminal.

    also it froze on me,after it asks for the root. i put in alpine, did i miss a step?

  • I cant get the terminal to allow me to put in my ip address, i think because its dhcp, its not the normal ip address numbers. also does the apple tv 2g have to be pulled into the computer. I am confused, been looking around all day. I need detailed instructions. I have it jailbroken, but i can't get the ip address to work in terminal. Looked all over google. Lost and frustrated. Good video though.

  • @MrLdotwilliams Hmm I am confused about your IP address issue, have you tried restarting everything, rebooting your aTV and computer sometimes they need to refresh for me. If you have it jailbroken you must have been able to access the IP address in one point so that makes me believe you need to reboot and refresh the communication. Let me know how it goes

  • @LetsKeepItSimple4 this is what i get

    The authenticity of host 'xx.x.x.xx (xx.x.x.xx)' can't be established.

    also when you use the terminal, i was wondering if you have to have the apt plugged into your mac at all? I did the jb and i thought that reset it, if i reset i have to tether boot again, which is a pain, and i did not see that in the instructions. also what did you mean by i accessed the ip address during some point. When i used seasonpass it did everything, was i suppose to mess withip

  • @MrLdotwilliams ok I've never seen this issue first hand but from forums it looks like the authenticity of host xx...etc... it looks like it gives you an option after it to say yes or no, Type yes, it should add the fingerprint for your computer. you can also try removing the finger print here's a link for my video. It's super easy (it won't let me copy paste links in here but its a video on how to fix remote host error

    then retry that. 2) you don't need the aTV plugged into the mac.

  • @LetsKeepItSimple4 also when you use the terminal, i was wondering if you have to have the apt plugged into your mac at all? I did the jb and i thought that reset it, if i reset i have to tether boot again, which is a pain, and i did not see that in the instructions. also what did you mean by i accessed the ip address during some point. When i used seasonpass it did everything, was i suppose to messwithip

  • @MrLdotwilliams i got it working. thanks. quick question. how do you stream files from a mac? i can't find a tutorial for this anywhere. I can use xbmc just fine on my mac, it sees my hdd and folders, but on the apt2g it doesnt see my folders or MY hdd. Any suggestions?

  • All i get is E: Couldn't find package com.nitro.nitroTV

  • @sirocksyou that may be because you are typing nitro, its nito.

  • does this work on windows.... I have no access to a mac

  • @mrmybuttisbig yes you need to use winscp to ssh into your ATV

  • @LetsKeepItSimple4 Yeah u can use PuTTY its same as Terminal, its best choice u can do ;-)

  • E: Type '“deb' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/awkwar­dtv.list

    on my ATV 2g

  • @techker2 There's more to the command, that's only half of the text you need. I put a link for a copy and pasteable version in the description

  • YOUR all the information A to Z are very good

  • @Jagdisj Thank you for your feedback! I am glad I could help!!

  • Can you jailbreak a apple 1st gen and put nitotv on it too?

  • @jacarasunny I do not believe you can, unfortunately I do not have a 1st gen to give it a whirl. My apologies

  • this was pretty helpful, though after "ssh root@192.168.x.x" it asks me for a password for the appleTV. Yes I'm running as sudo su, and I've tried my personal password, my Ubuntu's root password, and alpine, and even frontrow ;p

    I can log in as front row, but then typing the big command "echo..(insert rest of command here)" it tells me /etc/apt/sources.list.d/akward­tv.list doesn't exist! I'm stuck, any help?

  • @ShadVonHass sent you a message in your in box, with links on it, not sure myself how to use a Ubuntu but hope it helps.

    I had a problem copy and pasting the link initially as well, I had to type it out manually in word, and then copy and paste it, make sure there are no extra spaces they screwed me up!

  • @LetsKeepItSimple4

    Just for reference for anyone else I guess

    I found I had to do this..

    login as frontrow, then input the following:

    sudo -s

    mount -uw /

    touch /.readwrite

    reboot

    And it worked, and I continued on te rest of this excellent guide as well. Thank you sir.
