[ATV] Audio, No Video.

Question 
Ive been doing as much research as I can, spent countless hours the past week creating patchsticks for 2.4/3.01, Old/New Launchers, tried different HDMI cables, Component Cables, different TV's, asked in #xbmc-osx/#boxee channels, searched google/xbmc/boxee/Awkward threads, offered money for help, and i have had no help so far Sad

So creating this thread was my last hope.

The issue:
I boot my ATV, Splash video gets Audio & Video. Then it the screen goes black. I can hear the Menu Sounds for ATV, but no video. I can SSH into it just fine, via FlashFXP/PuTTY. Ive tried everything I can think of (See 1st paragraph), but nothing will work!

What caused the issue:
Before this happened, I was attempting to install Nito, I was messing around trying different things, one step told me to change permissions or something, next thing you know, everythings black.

So my question is...
What might be the problem?
Is it possible to reset my ATV to factory via SSH?

on apple remote hold "-" and "menu" for a few seconds it will reboot in "restore" menu. do the factory restore from there.

I have the same problem... black screen after boot, I can hear Audio but nothing on video...

I try to tap and hold MENU+"-" and APT restart and I have a screen where I have to select Language .... but I can't select it.... I try to pair again the remote, and it seem working but anyway i can't select language....

I can make something trough ssh or other?
Thank you
Filippo
