Hi Guys,

I believe that I have succefully jailbroken my apple tv.
I did it with a mac and I can use winscope on windows to log into to it.
I want to be able to install apps into it but can it be done thru windows since I don't have a mac myself?

Please help!
Thank you!

Yes via Putty or Winscp. But there aren't any apps to install yet (nothing really usuable).

Can you please list me some apps that I can try. I really don't know of any right now.
THank you!

NitoTV Take 3 - AwkwardTV
Plex Client for Apple TV (2G) - Plex Forums

Anyone else want to contribute apps they know about?

Thanks for the help, but I dont think they can be installed thru windows yet. I checked out the links and they're both for MACs.
I guess that might be what I need to do in the near future.

Plex is mac based, yes - but not NitoTV, it is installed directly on the ATV2

Any apps that you install should be done via SSH and "apt-get".

apt is the core framework of Cydia, and apt-get is a command line based installer.

Once you have NitoTV installed, you will have a Graphical User Interface that can be used to install packages to your AppleTV while waiting on Cydia to be updated.

Note: NitoTV's Package Manager explicitly calls out tested, useful AppleTV Applications, Appliances, and Tweaks.
It is generally a good place for people to get a feel of where things are going.

Hmm...pretty impressive. But don't you think running on windows is a little bit off since apple is naturally based on mac. Well, if anyone here can help you, that would be great. I am looking forward for your success. Lastly, can you show to us how did you do it...I mean jailbreaking your appletv.
