<p>Following the release of <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/apple-tv" target="_blank">Apple TV</a> software update <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/2012/03/30/tag/apple-tv-5-2-1" target="_blank">5.2.1</a> (iOS 6.1.3 &#8211; 10B329a), <a href="http://firecore.com/" target="_blank">FireCore</a> has updated <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/seas0npass/" target="_blank">Seas0nPass</a> to provide a <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/apple-tv-2-ntethered-jailbreak" target="_blank">tethered jailbreak for Apple TV 2</a> running the latest firmware. Released in March, a minor Apple TV software update &#8211; 5.2.1 &#8211; added support for Music in the Cloud in Japan and Israel and included improvements for software update, subtitles, and general performance.</p>
<p><span id="more-4013"></span></p>
<p>Here is a step by step <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/apple-tv-tutorial" target="_blank">tutorial</a> on how to tether jailbreak Apple TV 2 5.2.1 using Seas0nPass:</p>
<p><em>NOTE: This is a TETHERED jailbreak. This means every time there is a need to reboot your Apple TV, you have to connect it to a computer. Functionally, both tethered and <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/2012/03/30/tag/apple-tv-untethered-jailbreak" target="_blank">untethered jailbreak</a> are identical.</em></p>
<p><em>NOTE 2: The current version of Seas0nPass doesn’t provide a <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/apple-tv-3-jailbreak" target="_blank">jailbreak for the Apple TV 3</a>.</em></p>
<p><strong>Pre-launch checklist</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Download and install the <a href="http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/" target="_blank">latest version of iTunes</a> (check for updates through Software Update located in Apple menu).</li>
<li>Download <a href="http://files.firecore.com/SP/Seas0nPass.zip" target="_blank">Seas0nPass for Mac</a> [10.6 or later] or <a href="http://files.firecore.com/SP/Seas0nPass-win.zip" target="_blank">Windows</a> [XP or later].</li>
<li>A micro USB cable will be required to complete the jailbreak.</li>
<li>Disconnect any iPods, iPhones, and iPads from your computer.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Jailbreaking</strong></p>
<p><strong>Step 1:</strong> Unzip the &#8216;Seas0nPass.zip&#8217; file and launch Seas0nPass.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://bit.ly/zv4bNV" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-902" title="Seas0nPass_001" alt="Seas0nPass 001 How to jailbreak Apple TV 2 5.2.1 (iOS 6.1.3) using Seas0nPass (tethered; Mac & Windows)" src="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Seas0nPass_001.jpg" width="584" height="361" /></a><strong>Step 2:</strong> Select the &#8216;Create IPSW&#8217; button to start the jailbreak process.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Seas0nPass_02.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-893" title="Seas0nPass_02" alt="Seas0nPass 02 How to jailbreak Apple TV 2 5.2.1 (iOS 6.1.3) using Seas0nPass (tethered; Mac & Windows)" src="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Seas0nPass_02.jpg" width="584" height="389" /></a><strong>Step 3:</strong> The latest Apple TV software will be downloaded and used to create a custom &#8216;jailbroken&#8217; software file.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Seas0nPass_03.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-894" title="Seas0nPass_03" alt="Seas0nPass 03 How to jailbreak Apple TV 2 5.2.1 (iOS 6.1.3) using Seas0nPass (tethered; Mac & Windows)" src="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Seas0nPass_03.jpg" width="584" height="389" /></a><strong>Step 4: </strong>When prompted, connect your <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001FA1NK0?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=atvhacks-20&amp;linkCode=shr&amp;camp=213733&amp;creative=393177&amp;creativeASIN=B001FA1NK0&amp;ref_=sr_1_1&amp;qid=1324642550&amp;sr=8-1" target="_blank">Apple TV</a> using a micro-USB cable (leave power disconnected).</p>
<p>Once the light on the front of the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001FA1NK0?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=atvhacks-20&amp;linkCode=shr&amp;camp=213733&amp;creative=393177&amp;creativeASIN=B001FA1NK0&amp;ref_=sr_1_1&amp;qid=1324642550&amp;sr=8-1" target="_blank">Apple TV</a> begins to flash rapidly, point the remote at the AppleTV and hold both the MENU and PLAY/PAUSE buttons for 7 seven seconds.</p>
<p><em>Note: This step will require the silver (aluminum) <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001FA1NK0?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=atvhacks-20&amp;linkCode=shr&amp;camp=213733&amp;creative=393177&amp;creativeASIN=B001FA1NK0&amp;ref_=sr_1_1&amp;qid=1324642550&amp;sr=8-1" target="_blank">Apple TV</a> remote that was included with the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001FA1NK0?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=atvhacks-20&amp;linkCode=shr&amp;camp=213733&amp;creative=393177&amp;creativeASIN=B001FA1NK0&amp;ref_=sr_1_1&amp;qid=1324642550&amp;sr=8-1" target="_blank">ATV2</a>. The older, white (plastic) remotes will not work.</em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Seas0nPass_04.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-896" title="Seas0nPass_04" alt="Seas0nPass 04 How to jailbreak Apple TV 2 5.2.1 (iOS 6.1.3) using Seas0nPass (tethered; Mac & Windows)" src="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Seas0nPass_04.jpg" width="584" height="389" /></a><strong>Step 5:</strong> iTunes will open automatically and start the restore process.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/2013/02/20/how-to-add-and-use-a-bluetooth-keyboard-with-your-apple-tv-5-2ios-6-1/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3874" alt="apple tv bluetooth keyboard How to add and use a Bluetooth keyboard with your Apple TV (5.2/iOS 6.1)" src="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/apple-tv-bluetooth-keyboard.png" width="600" height="338" title="How to add and use a Bluetooth keyboard with your Apple TV (5.2/iOS 6.1)" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">It was not long ago that we <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/2013/01/28/apple-tv-software-update-5-2-brings-bluetooth-keyboard-support-itunes-in-the-cloud-and-airplay-audio-for-videos/" target="_blank">shared the news</a> regarding Apple officially activating its <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/bluetooth" target="_blank">Bluetooth</a> hardware, via the 5.2 update, on their Apple TV 2 and Apple TV 3 devices. Though it seems that support is limited to Bluetooth keyboards, not Bluetooth remotes, only time will tell if Apple has a line of new peripherals on the way for us all. As exciting as the news is, having Bluetooth capabilities does no good if users are unsure/unable to utilize these features.</p>
<p><span id="more-3873"></span></p>
<p>We also want to remind those of you that own an <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/apple-tv-1" target="_blank">Apple TV 1</a>, the silver box, that this guide will not pertain to your device as you have no Bluetooth hardware enabled by default. If you own an Apple TV 1, and would like Bluetooth support, you will need to look into other LINUX-based options (see our <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/2012/12/17/apple-tv-1-new-life-with-openelec-2-0/" target="_blank">guide on installing openELEC</a>) paired with Bluetooth dongles.</p>
<p><strong>REQUIREMENTS</strong></p>
<p>1. Bluetooth keyboard<br />
2. Apple TV remote (hardware or software)<br />
3. Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation) updated to the latest 5.2 firmware<br />
4. A desire for your <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/category/xbmc-atv/" target="_blank">media center</a> to have additional awesomeness</p>
<p><strong>LIMITATIONS </strong>(according to Apple)</p>
<p>1. Bluetooth support on Apple TV is for keyboards only. Headsets, speakers, and other devices are not supported.<br />
2. If you are having difficultly connecting or using a third-party Bluetooth keyboard, contact the manufacturer to verify that it is compatible with Apple products and Apple TV.<br />
3. The original Apple Wireless Keyboard (2003), that features a white case and uses four AA batteries, is not compatible.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://bit.ly/VdLeUW" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3820" alt="apple tv contest1 How to add and use a Bluetooth keyboard with your Apple TV (5.2/iOS 6.1)" src="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/apple-tv-contest1.jpg" width="350" height="221" title="How to add and use a Bluetooth keyboard with your Apple TV (5.2/iOS 6.1)" /></a></p>
<p><strong>PAIRING</strong></p>
<p>The first thing we need to do, as is the case when using any Bluetooth devices, is &#8220;pair&#8221; our hardware. Pairing is simply the process of connecting the two devices to each other, therein allowing them to communicate with each other.</p>
<p>1) From your main menu, navigate to the Settings -&gt; General -&gt; Bluetooth</p>
<p><a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/bluetooth-atv_01.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3878" alt="bluetooth atv 01 How to add and use a Bluetooth keyboard with your Apple TV (5.2/iOS 6.1)" src="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/bluetooth-atv_01.png" width="550" height="309" title="How to add and use a Bluetooth keyboard with your Apple TV (5.2/iOS 6.1)" /></a></p>
<p>3) At this point, let&#8217;s go ahead and turn on the keyboard and set it in &#8220;pairing mode&#8221;</p>
<p>5) You will immediately see the word &#8220;Bluetooth&#8221; at the top of your screen with the word &#8220;Searching&#8221; next to it.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/apple-tv-bluetooth-keyboard.png"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-3874" alt="apple tv bluetooth keyboard How to add and use a Bluetooth keyboard with your Apple TV (5.2/iOS 6.1)" src="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/apple-tv-bluetooth-keyboard.png" width="550" height="310" title="How to add and use a Bluetooth keyboard with your Apple TV (5.2/iOS 6.1)" /></a></p>
<p>6) In a matter of seconds you should see your Bluetooth keyboard&#8217;s name pop up on your Apple TV.</p>
<p>7) Using the Apple TV remote, click on the name that represents your Bluetooth keyboard.</p>
<p>8) You are now met with a sequence of 4 numbers: type these IN ORDER on your keyboard.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/bluetooth-atv_02.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3880" alt="bluetooth atv 02 How to add and use a Bluetooth keyboard with your Apple TV (5.2/iOS 6.1)" src="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/bluetooth-atv_02.png" width="550" height="258" title="How to add and use a Bluetooth keyboard with your Apple TV (5.2/iOS 6.1)" /></a></p>
<p>9) Congratulations, your keyboard is now paired with your Apple TV.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/bluetooth-atv_04.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3879" alt="bluetooth atv 04 How to add and use a Bluetooth keyboard with your Apple TV (5.2/iOS 6.1)" src="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/bluetooth-atv_04.png" width="600" height="267" title="How to add and use a Bluetooth keyboard with your Apple TV (5.2/iOS 6.1)" /></a></p>
<p><strong>HOW TO USE</strong></p>
<p>Now that your keyboard is paired with your Apple TV, everything can be controlled by either the keyboard or your Apple TV remote. So, let&#8217;s assume that you now want to put away your remote and control your system via the keyboard &#8211; here are the basic keys that you would be looking for:</p>
<table width="100%" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="6">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="text-align: center;" width="50%"><strong>On the KEYBOARD</strong></td>
<td style="text-align: center;"><strong>On the REMOTE</strong></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="text-align: center;" width="50%">Enter</td>
<td style="text-align: center;">Select</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="text-align: center;" width="50%">Esc</td>
<td style="text-align: center;">Back</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="text-align: center;" width="50%">Arrows (up, down, right left)</td>
<td style="text-align: center;">Navigation Buttons</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>You can use your keyboard to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Enter text and other information (search, email addresses, passwords, and so on)</li>
<li>Navigate Apple TV menus using the arrow, Return, and Escape keys</li>
<li>Navigate <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/2013/02/18/atv-flash-black-update-v2-2-includes-support-for-apple-tvs-on-5-2-what-featuresplugins-work-and-what-doesnt/" target="_blank">recently updated</a> <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/atv-flash-black" target="_blank">aTV Flash (black)</a></li>
<li>Jump to an item, title, or name on the screen by typing the first few letters (for example, when viewing your music collection, you can type a song title or artist name to jump to it in the list)</li>
<li>Use media controls when playing music and video to play or pause content and select previous or next.</li>
</ul>
<p>Volume, brightness, and other controls are not available for Apple TV. Apple TV uses the U.S. English keyboard layout regardless of the keyboard&#8217;s hardware layout.</p>
<p><strong>DISCONNECTING</strong></p>
<p>If you want to stop using your keyboard or disconnect it from the Apple TV:</p>
<ul>
<li>Select Settings<strong> -&gt; </strong>General<strong> -&gt; </strong>Bluetooth</li>
<li>Select your keyboard and then select &#8220;Forget this device&#8221;</li>
</ul>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/2013/01/07/how-to-clone-the-xbmc-installation-on-apple-tv-1-and-apple-tv-2/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3571" style="margin-top: 40px; margin-bottom: 40px;" title="apple-tv-1-2-help" src="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/apple-tv-1-2-help.png" alt="apple tv 1 2 help How to clone the XBMC installation on Apple TV 1 and Apple TV 2" width="600" height="95" /></a></p>
<p>Do you have more than one <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/apple-tv" target="_blank">Apple TV</a> in your house? Are you the techy in your community, forced to install and set up <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/category/xbmc-atv/" target="_blank">XBMC</a> on Apple TVs for all those people you know and love? What if there were an easy way to simply clone the XBMC installation from one device to multiple others? Well, you can. This process can be used for a variety of reasons, but the most popular would absolutely be:</p>
<ul>
<li>Backing-up your current XBMC set up (allowing you to restore to it at any time)</li>
<li>Building an XBMC template (if you will) to help setting up other Apple TV’s quicker &amp; easier</li>
<li>Creating a standard of XBMC, including add-ons, for installing on your other iDevices (iPad, iPhone, etc.)</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><span id="more-3568"></span></strong></p>
<p>Whatever your reasons, this is a worthwhile skill to have. For the sake of clarity, for those of you who do not know, the <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/apple-tv-1" target="_blank">Apple TV 1</a> and the <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/apple-tv-2" target="_blank">Apple TV 2</a> differ from each other in that they bother run on different operating systems. The Apple TV 1 was originally build on the OSX platform, same as the older MACs. The Apple TV 2 on the other hand is built on the iOS platform. Same as the iPad, iPhone, &amp; iPods. These differences will cause the process of cloning your Apples to vary dependent on which devices you own. That said, grab your ATV, your computer and let’s go:<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Requirements</strong></p>
<p><strong></strong>If you are using a Windows Machine</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://winscp.net/eng/download.php">WinSCP</a> &#8211; File Manager</li>
<li><a href="http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html">PuTTY</a> &#8211; Terminal App</li>
</ul>
<p>If you are using a MAC machine</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://cyberduck.ch/">CyberDuck</a> &#8211; File Manager</li>
<li>Terminal App (preinstalled)</li>
</ul>
<p>[Extract The Items Needed For Cloning]</p>
<p><em><strong>Step 1</strong></em>: We first need to open your File Manager. You will be met with either an option to open a Connection, if so select this option, or a group of boxes requiring input. Fill out the boxes using following sample. Note yours may look different but the information will be the same.</p>
<ul>
<li>At the top you will likely see a drop down menu that says “File Transfer Protocol.” Here you will need to select the option that says “SFTP” or “SSH”</li>
<li>Server: Here you need to enter the IP address of your Apple TV</li>
<li><strong>Apple TV 1 (SILVER BOX) </strong>= <strong>Username: </strong>frontrow &amp;<strong> Password:</strong> frontrow</li>
<li><strong>Apple TV 2 (BLACK PUCK) = </strong><strong>Username: </strong>root &amp;<strong> Password:</strong> alpine</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/atv-pass.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3569" title="atv-pass" src="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/atv-pass.png" alt="atv pass How to clone the XBMC installation on Apple TV 1 and Apple TV 2" width="550" height="555" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong> Now we will need to navigate to the following file location, and save a copy of the folder titled “XBMC” to your desktop, or any other location that you will remember. This will take some time as this file contains EVERYTHING pertaining to your XBMC installation:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Apple TV 1 (SILVER BOX) </strong>= /Applications/XBMC.app/Contents/Resources/XBMC/</li>
<li><strong>Apple TV 2 (or any iDevice) = </strong>/private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/</li>
</ul>
<p>[<strong>REMEMBER</strong>] this is your CLONED XBMC folder. It is important that you take good care of this item as this is what we will use on the next machine&#8230; or your current machine should you simply be making a backup. Once this is done, all following steps will take place on the device you want to install the CLONED FOLDER on.</p>
<p><strong>Installing The CLONED XBMC Folder</strong></p>
<p><em><strong>Step 1</strong></em>: Start with a blank canvas:</p>
<ul>
<li>Factory restore your target device (making sure you don’t upgrade to an un-jailbroken firmware)</li>
<li>Jailbreak the Apple TV again</li>
<li>Do a fresh Install of XBMC on the device.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Step 2</strong>: Launch XBMC… THEN EXIT XBMC… on the same device.</p>
<p><em><strong>Step 3</strong></em>: Connect to your to the Apple TV using the File Manager as we did in beginning of this guide.</p>
<p><strong>Step 4: </strong>Navigate to the following file location:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Apple TV 1 (SILVER BOX) </strong>= /Applications/XBMC.app/Contents/Resources/XBMC/</li>
<li><strong>Apple TV 2 (or any iDevice) = </strong>/private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong> Once you can see the XBMC folder on your current machine we need to do two things:</p>
<ul>
<li>Rename the XBMC folder, on the Apple TV, to “OLDXBMC”</li>
<li>Upload the CLONED XBMC FOLDER, from your desktop, that we saved on your computer earlier in this guide. This may take some time to upload as this file contains EVERYTHING pertaining to your XBMC installation. So give it time</li>
</ul>
<p><em><strong>Step 6</strong></em>: Now we will need to connect to our device via the Terminal App, via SSH, using the following commands.</p>
<ul>
<li>ssh root@[Your Apple TV’s I.P. Address]</li>
<li><strong>Example:</strong> ssh <a href="mailto:root@192.168.2.18">root@192.168.2.18</a>
<ul>
<li>This can be found under General/Network on your ATV’s main menu</li>
<li><strong>Note:</strong>Should you receive an “Authentication Error,” copy and paste the following command into the Terminal window and press Enter, then continue.
<ul>
<li>rm ~/.ssh/known_hosts</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p><em><strong>Step 7</strong></em>: Once connected we will input one command.</p>
<ul>
<li>chown -R mobile:mobile /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/</li>
</ul>
<p><em><strong>Step 8</strong></em>: Reboot and Enjoy</p>
<p><strong>Congratulations</strong>! Not only do you have a safe backup of your XBMC installation, but you can now set up twice as many devices in a quarter of the time.</p>

So Simple, Its Hard?!" width="600" height="338" /></a>For many of our reads, there is no question regarding what <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/category/xbmc-atv/" target="_blank">XBMC</a> is or how to use it. That said, we never find a shortage of folks who don&#8217;t understand XBMC&#8217;s add-ons, plugins, tools, menus, skins, libraries, third party extras, etc. It was with this in mind that we have decided to dedicate a bit of time every month to breaking down <strong>ALL THINGS XBMC</strong>. Our goal is to give information that could greatly help new comers, and veterans, alike. I, personally, aim to bring tips and tricks to shed light on many items that have seemingly alluded many users of XBMC as a home multimedia solution. So, if you find yourself always helping fiends and family with their XBMC systems, bookmark this page, and stay tuned for the months to come! We are going to get the masses ready to use, and comfortable with, Xbox Media Center (XBMC).</p>
<p><span id="more-3497"></span></p>
<p>Though this article may seem &#8216;to basic&#8217; for the tech elite that frequent this pages, please note that this article is simply a launching point for our ALL THINGS XBMC series. We will not be breaking down any walls today, but rather shedding light on XBMC in general. We want to take a broad brush and give you all an idea of what XBMC is and does. We will then use this article as a guideline for the pieces to come.</p>
<p><strong>What is XBMC?</strong></p>
<p>XBMC is an award-winning FREE, open source (GPL), software media player and entertainment hub for digital media. XBMC is currently available for Linux, OSX, Windows, iOS, &amp; even Android. XBMC has been designed to be the perfect companion for your <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/apple-tv" target="_blank">Apple TV</a> (1, 2, and someday your 3). Supporting an almost endless range of remote controls, and combined with its beautiful interface and powerful skinning engine, XBMC feels very natural to use from the couch and is the ideal solution for your home theater &#8211; multi media center.</p>
<p>Essentially, XBMC offers users the ability to watch personal content, as well as content found on the web, on their Television. It makes itself a central interface for thousands, if not millions, of playable content. It is built with the ability to install add-ons, skins, scripts, and more, all with the purpose of expanding its functionality. The software is, by far, the most feature rich solution on the market. XBMC is only limited by the lack of understanding of its users. This is a situation where the more you know, quickly equates to an unparallelled television experience!</p>

<p>Making my <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/apple-tv" target="_blank">Apple TV</a> sexy is one thing I am passionate about. Whether you are want to change the background, adjust the location of your menu options, or even change the complete look and feel of your operating system, <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/xbmc" target="_blank">XBMC</a> allows you to do it all! If you are a regular visitor to our site, you know that we are fans of XBMC and what it can do for you, and your Apple TV. Of all the benefits it offers, my favorite has to be the fact that XBMC offers <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/xbmc-skins" target="_blank">skins</a>. These skins are free to download, free to install, and free to design.</p>
<p><span id="more-3196"></span></p>
<p>There are roughly <a href="http://forum.xbmc.org/forumdisplay.php?fid=67" target="_blank">30 skins available</a> today at <a href="http://xbmc.org/" target="_blank">XBMC.org</a>. XBMC has “stable” skins that can be added via their repo, they have “stable “ skins that you can add via third party repositories, and they have skins that are in development that you can add, test, and play with.</p>
<p>This is the area of XBMC that I find myself playing with on a regular basis month to month. So, first-things-first: how do we change a skin with in XBMC?</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Prerequisites:</span></p>
<ul>
<li>Decide what skin you would like: you can find a complete list of XMBC skins <a href="http://forum.xbmc.org/forumdisplay.php?fid=67" target="_blank">here</a>.</li>
<li>If needed, add the repository for that skin (click for help with repos)</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Changing Your Skin:</span></p>
<p><strong>Step 1</strong>: Navigate to the “Settings” menu under “SYSTEM” in XBMC.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/xbmc-skins-apple-tv_01.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-3199" title="xbmc-skins-apple-tv_01" alt="xbmc skins apple tv 01 How to change skins in XBMC on Apple TV " src="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/xbmc-skins-apple-tv_01.jpg" width="595" height="372" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Step 2</strong>: Select the “Appearance” tab on the left side bar.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/xbmc-skins-apple-tv_02.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-3200" title="xbmc-skins-apple-tv_02" alt="xbmc skins apple tv 02 How to change skins in XBMC on Apple TV " src="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/xbmc-skins-apple-tv_02.jpg" width="595" height="372" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Step 3</strong>: Under the “Skin” field on the right side of the window, select the name of your current skin. It should display “Confluence” by default.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4</strong>: Select the name of the skin which you wish to use, I’ve chosen “Quartz” as an example (I will tell you why after we get through the HOW TO facet of this article).</p>

<p><strong>Step 5</strong>: You will then see, after a few seconds, the interface change completely.</p>

<p><strong>Things to consider:</strong></p>
<p>The Apple TV is a unit with limited power. XBMC is a tool of tremendous power! If you are trying to use the fanciest skins, with the most abundant features, you will find that the Apple TV will begin to move at a snails pace. It is important when looking at skins to consider the effect it will have on your OS. That said, I have tested every skin you can find… yes, EVERY SKIN YOU CAN FIND and I can give you a little help on what skins offer a great experience without costing you performance:</p>
<p>(in no specific order)</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://forum.xbmc.org/forumdisplay.php?fid=141" target="_blank">Quartz</a></li>
<li><a href="http://forum.xbmc.org/forumdisplay.php?fid=72" target="_blank">reFoucs</a></li>
<li><a href="http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=132897" target="_blank">refocus BIG (MODDED VERSION)</a></li>
<li><a href="http://forum.xbmc.org/forumdisplay.php?fid=140" target="_blank">XEEBO</a></li>
</ul>
<p>The best place to go, if you want to investigate yourself or need some help with XBMC skins would be the <a href="http://forum.xbmc.org/forumdisplay.php?fid=67" target="_blank">official SKINS thread</a> at XBMC.org.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;" align="center"><strong>HOW TO USE WITH YOUR APPLE TV</strong></p>
</div>
<p><strong>Step 1</strong>: Download and Extract the <a href="http://xbmc-hub-wizard.googlecode.com/files/xbmchubWizard.zip" target="_blank">xbmchubWizard.zip</a> file to your Desktop.</p>
<p><strong>Step 2</strong>: Launch the “xbmchubWizard.app” application, be sure to confirm you want to “Open” the downloaded application before using it first time, if prompted.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/wiz01.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3146" title="wiz01" src="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/wiz01.jpg" alt="wiz01 Supercharge your current XBMC installation with XBMC Hub Wizard " width="513" height="297" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/wiz02.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3145" title="wiz02" src="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/wiz02.jpg" alt="wiz02 Supercharge your current XBMC installation with XBMC Hub Wizard " width="443" height="297" /></a><strong>Step 3</strong>: On the left side of the application, click on the “Choose Apple TV” dropdown and select your Apple TV device. The computer running this application must be on the same network.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/wiz03.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-3144" title="wiz03" src="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/wiz03.jpg" alt="wiz03 Supercharge your current XBMC installation with XBMC Hub Wizard " width="296" height="149" /></a></p>
<p><strong><em>Note</em></strong>: Make sure “Choose Apple TV” is checked initially, then choose your Apple TV, that way it’ll keep up to date with IP Address changes.</p>
<p><strong>Step 4</strong>: If you have more than one Apple TV on your network, verify that the IP Address in the lower left corner corresponds with your box. You can find the IP Address of your Apple TV by going into the “Settings” -&gt; “General” -&gt; “About” page on your device.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/wiz04.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3143" title="wiz04" src="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/wiz04.jpg" alt="wiz04 Supercharge your current XBMC installation with XBMC Hub Wizard " width="443" height="297" /></a><strong>Step 5</strong>: Press the “Configure AppleTV 2″ button and wait a few minutes for the process to complete. Please make sure you’ve launched XBMC on your Apple TV at least once before beginning.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/wiz05.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3142" title="wiz05" src="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/wiz05.jpg" alt="wiz05 Supercharge your current XBMC installation with XBMC Hub Wizard " width="443" height="297" /></a><strong>Step 6</strong>: You’ll see a green check mark and your Apple TV will reboot once finished, you can now begin enjoying your reborn XBMC experience.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/wiz06.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3141" title="wiz06" src="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/wiz06.jpg" alt="wiz06 Supercharge your current XBMC installation with XBMC Hub Wizard " width="443" height="297" /></a><strong>Congratulations</strong>!

<p>You know the story: <a href="http://twitter.com/p0sixninja" target="_blank">p0sixninja</a> left the <a href="http://twitter.com/chronicdevteam" target="_blank">Chronic Dev Team</a> after selling <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/iboot-0day-exploit" target="_blank">iBoot 0day exploit</a> to an (ex?)Apple employee (more details <a href="http://www.ijailbreak.com/ipad/iphone-5-apple-tv-3g-ios-6-untethered-jailbreak-sold-to-apple/">here</a>). There was a lot of speculations on whether or not the iBoot exploit could have been used to <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/apple-tv-3-jailbreak" target="_blank">jailbreak Apple TV 3</a>.</p>
<p><span id="more-2922"></span></p>
<p>It was <a href="http://twitter.com/paulpols" target="_blank">Paul Pols</a>, a security expert, who first tweeted that iBoot 0day could be used to <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/apple-tv-untethered-jailbreak" target="_blank">untethered jailbreak</a> not only the <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/ios-6-0" target="_blank">iOS 6.0</a> but also the <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/apple-tv-3" target="_blank">Apple TV 3</a>:</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet tw-align-center"><p>An iBoot 0-day could (have) be(en) used to jailbreak iOS 6.0 across iDevices including 3rd Apple TV &amp; the next iPhone, but can be patched.</p>
<p>— Paul Pols (@paulpols) <a href="https://twitter.com/paulpols/status/230412421393690624" data-datetime="2012-07-31T21:19:36+00:00">July 31, 2012</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Numerous blogs have then repeated the news making many desperate Apple TV 3 owners believe their 3rd-generation black hockey-pucks could finally be jailbroken. <a href="https://twitter.com/nitoTV">nitoTV</a>, Apple TV hacker and developer, got tons of questions on the matter so he felt obliged to cleared it all up:</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet tw-align-center"><p>to clear up some misinfo going around right now&#8230; the iboot 0-day did /not/ apply to the AppleTV 3 in any way.</p>
<p>— kb (@nitoTV) <a href="https://twitter.com/nitoTV/status/231096600884305923" data-datetime="2012-08-02T18:38:17+00:00">August 2, 2012</a></p></blockquote>
<p>That didn’t stop people asking the same question so he tweeted once again:</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet tw-align-center"><p>seriously.. for the LAST FUCKING TIME. THE IBOOT EXPLOIT WOULD NOT WORK ON THE APPLETV 3. PERIOD. STOP ASKING.</p>
<p>— kb (@nitoTV) <a href="https://twitter.com/nitoTV/status/231154737171537921" data-datetime="2012-08-02T22:29:18+00:00">August 2, 2012</a></p></blockquote>

<p>Work on <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/apple-tv-3-jailbreak" target="_blank">Apple TV 3 jailbreak</a> is still in progress, according to <a href="http://firecore.com/?atvhacks" target="_blank">FireCore</a>. Although the company is working hard on this long-awaited jailbreak, the <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/seas0npass" target="_blank">SeasOnPass</a> and <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/atv-flash" target="_blank">aTV Flash</a> maker admitted on <a href="http://blog.firecore.com/8555" target="_blank">its blog</a> that the jailbreak for <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/apple-tv-3" target="_blank">Apple TV 3</a> &#8220;has proven to be a bit elusive up to this point.&#8221;</p>
<p><span id="more-2804"></span></p>
<p>Not surprisingly, thus, FireCore didn&#8217;t give any kind of ETA but we hope to have more news soon.</p>
<p>According to Apple TV hacker and developer <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/nitotv" target="_blank">nitoTV</a>, without an A5 bootrom exploit being found, an <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/apple-tv-3-jailbreak" target="_blank">Apple TV 3 jailbreak</a> “<a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/2012/03/30/nitotv-apple-tv-3-jailbreak-will-be-an-uphill-battle/" target="_blank">will be an uphill battle</a>.”</p>
<p>Not long after the release of the Apple TV 3 in March this year, the famous <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/ios" target="_blank">iOS</a> hacker <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/MuscleNerd" target="_blank">MuscleNerd</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/#%21/MuscleNerd/status/181110560383975424" target="_blank">tweeted</a> that “Apple’s least expensive iOS device (new<a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/apple-tv-3-jailbreak" target="_blank">AppleTV3,1</a>) will likely be the most secure of the bunch”. That’s mainly because geohot’s limera1n bootrom exploit, used to <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/apple-tv-2-jailbreak" target="_blank">jailbreak Apple TV 2</a>, doesn’t apply to ATV3.</p>

<p>Wondering how to watch <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/live-sports" target="_blank">live sport</a> streaming on <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/apple-tv" target="_blank">Apple TV</a>?<strong> </strong>The answer is easy: <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/xbmc" target="_blank">XBMC</a>, <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/airplay" target="_blank">AirPlay</a>, Mac/PC screen <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/mirroring" target="_blank">mirroring</a> and, of course, native <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/apple-tv-sport-apps" target="_blank">Apple TV sport apps</a>. Finding football, baseball, basketball, soccer, tennis, UFC, WWF, or anything else on your Apple TV can feel like and impossible task to anyone one who sits down and sees the limited options in Apple iOS interface, with its limited content partnerships. Though it looks bleak there is a very bright cloud to this quandary and that is the never-ending combination of features we can through at this magical little box.</p>
<p><span id="more-2600"></span><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>XBMC </strong></span></p>
<p>If you have read any of my other pieces, you already know that I am an XBMC fan-boy. XBMC is the best thing to happen to the Apple TV for many reasons, the least of which being its ability to stream live sports content. There are many <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/xbmc-addons" target="_blank">addons</a> that can be found at <a href="forums.xbmc.org" target="_blank">forums.xbmc.org</a> to fill your gaming needs! Here is a list of the most popular, stable tools:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>SportsDevil<img class="alignright  wp-image-2615" style="margin-top: 15px; margin-bottom: 15px;" title="sportsdevil" src="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/sportsdevil.png" alt="sportsdevil How to watch live sports on Apple TV" width="280" height="181" /></strong></li>
</ul>
<p>This is easily one of the more popular, and better-known, add-ons when it comes to sports and XBMC. This add-on is great because it works 95% of the time. I have only ever missed one college game with <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/sportsdevil" target="_blank">SportsDevil</a>. This add-on is free and there is no charge for connecting to the streams it makes available.</p>
<p><a href="http://xbmc-development-with-passion.googlecode.com/svn/branches/repo/plugin.video.SportsDevil/">Download SportsDevil addon</a> (note: you’ll need to add the <a href="http://xbmc-development-with-passion.googlecode.com/files/repository.MaxMustermann.xbmc-1.0.1.zip" target="_blank">Max Mustermann repository</a> to get SportsDevil working on your Apple TV.)</p>

<ul>
<li><strong>LiveTV</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>This is another great source for sporting content. The truth is, if you want to view a <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/live-tv" target="_blank">LIVE TV</a> event… one of your best bets would be to view it via this Live TV add-on. With in this add-on you are able to choose different categories of TV, specifically Sports. You are then given a large list of links for currently streaming sports channels: <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/espn" target="_blank">ESPN</a>, <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/cbs" target="_blank">CBS</a>, <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/nbc" target="_blank">NBC</a>, etc. And again… this add-on is free to use.</p>
<p><a href="https://code.google.com/p/live-tv-stream/downloads/detail?name=plugin.video.LiveTVv1.4.zip&amp;can=2&amp;q=">Download LiveTV addon</a></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Navi-X<a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/navi-x-sports.png"><img class="alignright  wp-image-2614" style="margin-top: 15px; margin-bottom: 15px;" title="navi-x-sports" src="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/navi-x-sports.png" alt="navi x sports How to watch live sports on Apple TV" width="280" height="158" /></a></strong></li>
</ul>
<p><a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/navi-x" target="_blank">Navi-X</a> is one of the best tools, yet sometimes tricky to utilize. This add-on often has more links than any other source out there for LIVE streaming TV and specifically SPORTS. The trick is finding them. If you are unfamiliar with Navi-X you will simply want to use the search feature found on the main screen. Otherwise, often you can scroll through the MOST POPULAR OVER THE PAST 24 HOURS and you will see all of the Live Sports Streams posted on this page.</p>
<p><a href="http://code.google.com/p/navi-x/downloads/detail?name=Navi-X_v37_5.zip&amp;can=2&amp;q=">Download Navi-X addon</a></p>
<p>Check out <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/2012/04/06/how-to-install-xbmc-add-ons-and-plugins-on-apple-tv/" target="_blank">this tutorial</a> to learn how to install XBMC addons on Apple TV (1st and 2nd generation).</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>AirPlay</strong></span></p>
<p>If XBMC is the best thing to happen to the apple TV, <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/airplay" target="_blank">AirPlay</a> is certainly the second best! Quite often you can find the game you want on apps that are available in the AppStore for you iOS device (iPhone, iPod, iPad). With these apps, or perhaps a webpage link, you are able to AirPlay content from your mobile device’s screen to your Apple TV, or even XBMC on your Apple TV, without skipping a beat.</p>
<ul>

</ul>
<p><a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/justin-tv" target="_blank">Justin.TV</a> is a long time king of live sports streams. Though this app can be more hit and miss than its XBMC counterparts, it does often have what you are looking for. Simply download the app, search for the game, and choose the AirPlay option to through the video to your Apple TV.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/stat?id=FE1CCGsYqAY&amp;offerid=146261&amp;type=3&amp;subid=0&amp;tmpid=1826&amp;RD_PARM1=http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cbs-sports/id307184892?mt=8" target="_blank"><strong>CBS SPORTS (iOS)</strong></a><a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/stat?id=FE1CCGsYqAY&amp;offerid=146261&amp;type=3&amp;subid=0&amp;tmpid=1826&amp;RD_PARM1=http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cbs-sports/id307184892?mt=8"><img class="alignright  wp-image-2612" style="margin-top: 15px; margin-bottom: 15px;" title="cbs-sports" src="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/cbs-sports.png" alt="cbs sports How to watch live sports on Apple TV" width="109" height="108" /></a></li>
</ul>
<p>Get <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/cbs-sports" target="_blank">CBS Sports</a> for iPhone! The app delivers comprehensive news, video and scores for MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, Golf, Tennis, NASCAR, College hoops and more. Follow your favorite team and sport, and catch up on the latest news, scores, stats and video highlights of the day. Plus, the app offers live streaming College Basketball and Football</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>TO MANY TO COUNT (iOS)</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>To be fair, when it comes to the ability to AirPlay there is a limitless number of options that are available in the form of the AppStore apps. For this reason, <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/stat?id=FE1CCGsYqAY&amp;offerid=146261&amp;type=3&amp;subid=0&amp;tmpid=1826&amp;RD_PARM1=http://itunes.apple.com/us/genre/ios-sports/id6004?mt=8" target="_blank">here is a link</a> to the AppStore offering all of the apps labeled “sports”.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Android <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/xbmc-remote.jpg"><img class="alignright  wp-image-2616" style="margin-top: 15px; margin-bottom: 15px;" title="xbmc-remote" src="http://www.appletvhacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/xbmc-remote.jpg" alt="xbmc remote How to watch live sports on Apple TV" width="192" height="100" /></a></strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Though <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/android" target="_blank">Android</a> devices do not have the iOS5 feature of AirPlay built in, XBMC does! With <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.xbmc.android.remote&amp;hl=en" target="_blank">this remote</a> installed on your mobile device, you can send any “ONLINE” video content to your XBMC installation on your Apple TV. This is true AirPlay functionality with out the name, or the help of Apple.</p>

<p>SportsDevil gives you access to thousands of links for all the different kinds of sports. And I mean all! You will be shocked to see how many different varieties of sport that SportsDevil covers. It gives you several internet steaming sites to where you can view sporting events (it seems that it gets updated with new streaming sites every month or so).</p>
<p>There are 6 streaming sites with live sports at the moment which you can choose from, hopefully this list will get bigger to give you more and more options. Not every stream will work, but you normally have 10+ links per streaming of whatever sporting event you choose, and 1 of them will work for you! In my experience, SportsDevil really stands up to its name and I can’t go without this on my <a href="http://www.appletvhacks.net/tag/apple-tv-2" target="_blank">Apple TV 2</a>.</p>
