apparantly you can get alot more features on it by doing it.

I have the first Apple TV - jail broken.

Now that megaupload is gone, I'm not sure what everyone is doing with their downloads. I rarely even click on the XBMC tab anymore.

And yes, your remote will still work

www.firecore.com has everything you need. Jailbreaking is free with Seas0npass, but the part that adds xmbc and all the cool stuff is $30. Well worth it for how easy they've made the process.

I jailbroke my apple tv2. You could jailbreak it using season pass software. Then you could modify the menu by adding XBMC program. Then you could load different repositories / channels. The best guides would be from YouTube. There are a lot of guides in there.

I used firecore as well and worth it.
I find it is very useful to do, especially if:

You use a service like unblock us to make it seem you live in the US for certain protocols (not illegal)
The above allowed me to get NHL center ice, / MLB / us netflix etc (of course have to buy NHL center ice, etc)

I also enjoy a jail broken apple TV for a cheap streaming media server that I have working combined with some network drives of media content .

XMBC is a bit of a pain to setup with it though, had some issues, primarily due to the fact I was trying to stream via my mac book air with mountain lion OS X (they made some changes that are not sorted out yet since the OS version is still in development)

However, the firecore media player for the most part does an OK job with video files. They are lacking a playlist feature for music, but I use airplay for that for now.

Cheers

+1 for Firecore

They will show you step by step instructions on how to jailbreak and install their software. It's pretty easy really.

As well, those who miss megaupload, there's now 1channel which is apparently all the rage (I haven't used my ATV2 in quite some time, but several of my friends have told me it's great).

You can find all kinds of information on repositories for XBMC on xbmchub.com

Check out Plex if your interested in streaming to the ATV2 and you have it Jailbroken. Only caveat I think is that it might not work with the latest OS for the ATV2 (5.11???) but works fine with previous versions.

found this today. step by step and all software needed
