Apple TV 2G, aTV Flash, and Greenpois0n.

February 14, 2011

We held off on buying aTV Flash for the 2G Apple TV because we didn’t want to deal with a tethered jailbreak; the idea of having to connect our Apple TV to a Mac whenever it needed a reboot or lost power, was too much of a hassle to bear. So we waited. Fortunately, GreenPois0n [...]
