My 2 Cents: Been having a lot of fun with the new AppleTV 2G especially since we have been able to jailbreak it with pwnagetool 4.1. I still am pretty impressed that it only took 1 day to get an app on it…too nice. I cant wait to see some more of the native iPad and iPhone apps. I tried the steps below myself and it worked like a charm (will need putty…Google it in order to access your AppleTV via SSH)nitoTV on your (jailbroken) Apple TV2 (via Mac Rumors)
nitoTV is burning the midnight oil and has tweeted a new repository from which you can grab the first GUI-based AppleTV2 app (technically a Lowtide plugin), which currently has weather and RSS functionality.
To use it, do the following:
1) SSH into your Apple TV2, the default password is “alpine”
2) Type “passwd” and enter a new password (if you haven’t already)
3) Type: echo “deb http://apt.awkwardtv.org ./” > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/awkwardtv.list
4) Type: apt-get update
5) Type: apt-get install com.nito.nitoTV
6) Type: killall Lowtide
7) Enjoy
