I just purchased a new Apple TV 2 that was still in the box after deciding my original XBox wasn't cutting it any more. After opening it up and connecting it to the TV, I found it was running iOS 4.1. I've spent some serious time reading forums on here and other sites and it seems that I don't want to run anything beyond iOS 4.3 due to performance issues. Is there any iOS version that everyone considers "the best" for an ATV2 used just for XBMC?
Secondly, I'm running into real problems trying to jailbreak my ATV2 without upgrading to iOS 5.1, which I don't want to do. All the info I can find online is either about jailbreaking iOS 5.1 or was written back when Apple was signing IPSW files for earlier versions of iOS. I know jailbreaking info isn't appropriate for this forum, but can anyone point me to a link about how to jailbreak an ATV2 that currently runs 4.1 and that I don't want to upgrade past 4.3 and that factors in that everything changed once Apple released 5.1?
Should any of the XBMC team be reading this, you guys are awesome and massive thanks for all the time and work you've put into making the best media center out there. I've been using your original software for years and can't wait to see what the team of geniuses have done since the Babylon release.
