Apple TV 2 Jailbreaking

I recently decided to swap out my trusty modded first-generation Xbox for a second-generation AppleTV. I was, however, more than a little reluctant to give up using Xbox Media Center. Fortunately, I happened across a dead-simple jailbreaking tutorial over at OS X Daily. Once your ATV2 is jailbroken, you can SSH right into it. With shell access and this equally-dead-simple tutorial, you can get Xbox Media Center up and running on your ATV2 in a matter of minutes. Enjoy!

    Did you jailbreak the latest software of apple tv? Considering getting one but was told that it can’t be done on the latest. So which software version did you jailbreak?

    No, I jailbroke mine back when 4.2.2 was the latest firmware version, and from what I’ve read, it doesn’t sound like a jailbreak is available for 4.3 yet. However, this thread says that a 4.3-compatible version of Seas0nPass is in the works. Plus, one user posted instructions on how to downgrade from 4.3 and successfully jailbreak from there.
