I’m fairly well versed in the jailbreaking scene.. not a dev or anything but I’ve been through 3 generations of iphones with all the different kinds of jb’s so far.. what I can’t find, however, is info on the current status of atv2g/jailbreak/latest firmware? has it been done yet? nowhere states ‘yes’ or ‘no’ so an answer of either one of those would be helpful

is there a link anyone can point me to that has jailbreak status updates for each device by any chance?

Oh, you mean the update that caused AppleTV to no longer recognize HomeSharing? That update? Genius. #fail

I’m looking for a media player that will primarily play my local files + Netflix. As I’ve got no interest in renting anything, is there any way to disable the iTunes store on the new Apple TV? To be clear, my goal is to have *MY* movies and TV Shows under movies & TV shows.

It’s my understanding that 90% of the new Apple TV’s UI is dedicated towards iTunes rentals and I really don’t feel like training my family that movies aren’t found under movies, they’re found under computer.

Well, Im so glad to read this news, “It brings a support for AirPlay, a new feature that lets you stream movies, music or photos (and who knows what else!) from any iOS device running iOS 4.2 (also released today)”, so great the Airplay is, I just wanna know if this means that I don’t need to do any converting with iFunia video converter if I get some cool movies to watch with Apple TV.
OH, I see, only from any iOS device running iOS 4.2, but not for those no iOS! It’s a pity that I have to make conversion
BTW: This “Tips to Make Successful Video Conversion on Mac really do great help for my movies watching…

Stop askiny stupid and obvious questions.Instead, u should learn something about jailbreak, and all stuff so u cant realize but yourselft it’s OBVIOUS that upgrading will kill your jailbreak.
Seocond thing is right now this upgrade will provide some interesting features u don’t have on your jailbreaked device.S, it’s up to you.

well nitotv just blocks the firmware to successfully write to the device it does not block the message, so the message will continue to appear.

Just install NitoTV and turn on the “block updates” option. easy
