That link seems to suggest otherwise.

edit - that link seems to be in error. http://www.appletvhacks.net/

Yeah that actually a pretty old link, I'm trying to find one I noticed at the weekend.

Old news report and incorrect information.

Its talking about Seasonpass being able to jailbreak it, Seasonpass made by FireCore.

And to quote their website as of today:

Seas0nPass provides an UNTETHERED jailbreak of the 2nd gen Apple TV running the 5.0.2 (iOS 5.1.1 - 9B830) software that was released on June 6th, 2012.

The 3rd gen Apple TV is not yet supported

As soon as an ATV3 can be reliably jail broken, I'll most likely be buying one... So can they hurry up please?

I straight swapped my brand new ATV3 for my "non-jailbreaking" mate's ATV2 for this reason about 6 months ago. Glad I didn't wait for a ATV3 jailbreak!

Grrr I could have sworn I found a link for a place offer a "paid for" Jailbreak of the ATV3, can't find it for the life of me now

soon as its released im getting one

HEADRAT · 23 Oct 2012 at 19:45

To be honest I don't think it's legit

Skully · 23 Oct 2012 at 20:48

I wish it were true but unlikely to happen anytime soon.

SDK^ · 23 Oct 2012 at 21:24

Just buy an ATV2 - you're missing out for the sake of 1080p.

I know the benefits of jailbreaking an ipad/iphone.. but what can i get out of a jailbroken AppleTV? Free movies/channels? (sorry never owned an ATV and thinking of getting one)

JB ATV to enable streaming of any media formats via XBMC, as well as other things

If you don't JB then you're stuck with iTunes compatible media only.

It effectively boils down to easier piracy.

KIA · 23 Oct 2012 at 22:09

Some of us don't want to transcode media. XBMC FTW.

fadetoblack · 24 Oct 2012 at 00:01

Just install xbmc on any computer use air parrot and beam it to the atv3

Or just use mountain lion airplay mirroring from your laptop to ATV3, job done.
