There are many reasons why you shouldn’t jailbreak your Apple TV 3
device, including the fact that it is against Apple’s terms of service,
but the benefits are sometimes too big to ignore. Here are three of
the most important reasons that could help you decide in case you are
still pondering on whether to jailbreak your new device or not.
Even
though a valid jailbreak for the third generation of Apple TV hasn’t
been revealed yet, you should, nevertheless, get prepared for the
moment when it will eventually be disclosed. Some Apple TV owners may
try to convince you that the process is too risky because your warranty
will become void. However, the fact that you can use your device at
its full capacity should make you at least consider jailbreaking it.
Most Apple TV customers complain about the streaming quality of the
videos they purchase or rent on iTunes. The download speed is not any
better, either, if we were to judge by those who waited three hours for
a movie. Luckily, the jailbreak enables you to free your gadget of all
restrictions that Apple tried to impose and to make full use of it.
As the term might metaphorically suggest it, jailbreaking into an
Apple device, be it iPhone, iPad or Apple TV gives you the possibility
to gain root access to your gadget. The firmware and operating system
used on the device, namely iOS, will be easily controlled by you once
you have broken them. What’s more important, iOS-based gadgets are now
so easy to break that it would actually be a pity if you did not take
advantage of this opportunity to enhance their capacity.
All you need to do to jailbreak your Apple TV 3
is a computer or laptop and the latest version of iTunes. As soon as
the jailbreaking software for the third generation of digital media
receiver is released, you will be able to download and install it on
your device.

I'm an Apple TV 3 noob. I'm very frustrated with the restrictiveness that it imposes on the video format you can play. Format, not formats.
ReplyDeleteWill any potential jailbreak provide an avenue to play .avi, .vob etc etc?
Yes, with the likes of XBMC most if not all formats will be accessible.
DeletePlease work harder at the jailbreak and release it as fast as you can
ReplyDeleteI'm using the Remote app on my iPad to use the iPad as a remote control for the atv3.
ReplyDeleteOn the iPad I can select on where the screen of the iPad will be displayed (Airplay): iPad/ATV or both.
Are both features still be availeble after installing the jailbreak?
