Hi:
I've spend most of the day reading and reading but can't find an answer on the forum so I decided to post my question/problem. I'm new to all this jailbreak XBMC, apple tv 2 stuff. After spending days reading and reading how to to it today I finally decided to give it a try. figure out the Jailbreak park and was successfully done! but the xbmc installation got me in trouble. I followed the instructions on the appletvhack.net website on how to install xbmc, that didn't work, found on Wikipedia instructions and after entering every command and plugging in the hdmi cable I get the xbmc letters but the icon is black. If I click it I see xbmc, select it and it goes back to the main menu. What is the problem?, any suggestions?. Thanks for your help. Jim

Why would you need a browser/ where does it say you get one? XBMC doesn't not come with one. It is a media center/player.

well i want to be able to surf the web from the ATV, i thought that was one good thing about the JB,.if you look around there is a widget/icon called couch surfer for firecore , but they want 30 dollars for that JB. and i went threw so much trouble already with this ATV i don't want to jailbreak again but if i ever unplug it I'm screwed cause its a tethered JB
your right, i just put xbmc on there to have it, but i really want to be able to surf the net.... any ideas ?

The jailbreak and the software are not related they just come from the same company. Fire core release the jailbreak (always free) via SeasonPass, you can then optionally buy their package of software (ATV Flash) that will come with the browser.
Also you aren't screwed as you just need to tethered boot if you ever unplug it. It's pretty easy. I think there is a browser type add on for xbmc. Check in the add ons sections of the forum.
