I still haven't decided if i'm keeping my ATV2 or not mainly due to the netflix app not caching my progress like my old Roku box does. I got it yesterday and spent 5 or 6 hours on just unlocking the dumb thing do to horrible instructions (the whole 4.1.1 is iOs 4.2.1 is retarded) for both seasonpass and pwnage tool. I felt dumb after the 6th or 7th time i reinstalled custom firmware and realized that i had to have the thing tether boot each time you boot it. It was a real pain dragging my iMac into the living room for 30 secs of boot time. Installing XBMC was a breeze, just need to fix the 5.1 audio output over optical out.

Anyway, i have a HTPC in my living room that i would like to use to tether boot this stupid thing. It's dual booted to run both windows and linux. Is there an app for either of these OS's that i can use to tether boot this thing the next time my power goes out or if i need to unplug it for any reason?

I purchased this to replace my roku box and to use it instead of my HTPC when watching videos off my home server in order to save a little electricity. However i have not been pleased with the netflix app or i just don't know how to fully navigate it. So i may be returning it shortly. Which is a shame cause XBMC is running nice on it and i'm sure it will only get better.

Good question. I had to borrow a mac from a friend to use Seas0npass and it was a breeze. But now Im stuck if power goes out. Would like to know also if there is an app to do this. What about using a virtual machine to do the tether? Would you have to do the first steps to install the IPSW on the virtual machine or can you just run the tehter boot?
