Netflix on the Apple TV :-)

Today I bought myself an Apple TV 2 (ATV2). Damn that thing is small!

First thing I did was to JailBreak it in order to get XBMC running on it. I used [Seas0nPass](http://support.firecore.com/entries/387605-jailbreaking-101-seas0npass) from Firecore to do this. And fortunately it is very easy - they actually have an untethered jailbreak of the latest 4.4.4 (iOS 5.0.1 - 9A406a).

In order to get XBMC running one just has to ssh to the ATV2 :-)

1$ ssh root@<your ATV2 IP address>;

(Use “alpine” as your password if you haven’t changed it already.)

1$ echo “deb http://mirrors.xbmc.org/apt/atv2 ./” > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xbmc.list
2$ apt-get update
3$ apt-get install org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2
