Impressive, considering that if you compare that to every other Apple product, you’ll see that no iDevice has held out for longer than five months, and many are cracked within the first week. The problem is, the third generation AppleTV is so secure, no hack has yet been discovered for it in the roughly year and a half it’s been around. To get the most of out the Apple TV hardware, you need to hack it to enable all kinds of new functionality. Apple TV is a nifty little device, but you are really confined to Apple’s own walled garden. So why is it that if you search for Apple TV on Amazon, the cost of OLDER generation hardware is 2-3 times more expensive?

And I’m not talking about the latest 3rd-generation Apple TV – I’ve been sticking with my first-generation Apple TV for years (although the 2nd Generation would also suffice). We’ll cover various options in upcoming posts, but until recently AppleTV was my go-to media center device. When complete you will see Green tick mark.īingo, your Apple TV now has XBMC installed! Share and stream media from any device to your TV.A big part of any modern home is a comprehensive media center that can play any kind of media you can throw at it – movies, music, TV shows, and pictures – in all kinds of formats. Press the “Install XBMC” button and relax while Nito does its magic. You’ll see the IP Address of the device you’ve selected in the lower left hand corner. Select your desired Apple TV name in the dropdown box at the top, if you only have one Apple TV you can skip this step. Download Nito installer, once done, launch the “nito Installer”. However, XBMC installer would be available as soon as it’s Jailbroken. Note: XBMC using nito installer is only available for 2nd generation Apple TV since Jailbreak for Apple TV 3rd generation isn’t out. Previously, the process was too technical, now its a child’s play. With NitoTv, you can easily install XBMC without having any involved technical knowledge. This mod is pretty easy and finally makes it possible to Jailbreak and tweak Apple TV, and you don’t need to be a techie for that.
