Default Apple TV2

I've had one for a couple years in a box and want to make it work someone said Jailbreak it and get everything on the internet.
Well on craigslist a post couple people do it for $35-40. is this a scam or a cop waiting to bust people???

Apple TV 2 with the installed "jailbreak" sell for $250 average

I could do it but need one cord. is there something I'm not seeing or how its installed will work better or not at all??

If what you say is true regarding it, "just sitting in a box," then you may jailbreak it.

My boss did it, and err thang seems to be working okay. Don't let others do it. . .

. . . and I'm surprised anybody is trying to flip it, because as I read it, once you purchase a jailbroken device today, you enter a legal grey area.

Good luck, and cross-reference your instructions.

Had it done today, XBMC is great for movies and TV. Watched a couple TopGear movies. I tried one plug in did not work "last.fm"
called the installed he said same thing does not work. There are other music labels I have not check yet
going to keep working with it, seems to be a little learning curve. Found a remove that works with my iPhone 5s and controls A-TV

(just a random post I found - cant believe bought it for $100 in Jan 2011 and Aug 2014 they are selling for $250

$250 for a ATV-2 search it.....

XBMC is the app that everybody want's for appletv but it can be installed on computers as well which easily hooks up to a tv. Quality of a lot of the shows suck too. Just stick to torrents.
