“iPhone developer chpwn first noticed the firmware update and posted a link to it on Twitter,” Ong reports. “‘AppleTV2,1_4.1_8M89_Restore.ipsw,’ a 242 MB download, is available from Apple’s download site.”
Ong reports, “The iPhone Dev-Team subsequently announced that it had already successfully used SHAtter, an in-development iOS 4.1 exploit, to jailbreak the new Apple TV firmware, Maggadget reports. ‘Even though the new AppleTV isn’t yet in people’s homes, the firmware is available on Apple’s normal public distribution servers and SHAtter has been used to decrypt its keys,’ wrote the iPhone Dev Team on their blog.”

Makes me think of the early days of iPhone. Almost everyone was jailbreaking it to get it to run apps, now we see it in AppleTV.
I’ve always said – what jailbreakers do Apple will eventually put in as an official function!

Yeah right, that’s how Apple gets their ideas, from hackers. Idiot

They just need to hack it to run the VLC app, then you can stream any file from your computer to your AppleTV.

What a waste of a life.

aww man!
they alerady jailbroke it
there is one redeeming quality about jailbreaking(not that I advocate it) it does do many of the things that one would normally do using applescript and finder (but that’s just about it)
@schmluss
I thought you could stream anything that was saved using h.264 (or something like that) if you have quicktime you can just re-save the video

zmarc: exactly, yeah.
Also makes me think of pundits predicting Mac viri appearing as OS X takes a larger market share. We didn’t get that; we got jailbreaking.

@ Stephen,
Yes, it will stream everything that you put into iTunes, but who wants to re-encode everything just to have it stream to your AppleTV?

Dag, Jail-breaking is all about stealing apps and or services.
This is the dark side of the “open source community” and threatens it’s entire foundation.
Ludor, jail-breaking is voluntary hacking, the “pundits” were dead wrong, Mac’s and OS X are everywhere (5-10X the amount when those windows apologists began making that dire prediction) And still…. not one self replicating virus or worm in the wild. Not one.
