SSH issue for xbmc
#1
Question 
Im trying to install xbmc on my ATV2. I jailbroke it with season pass but cant figure out how to install xbmc. Im really new to all this and dont know ssh, could anyone give me a breakdown for a beginner?

I look online and in terminal the screen says SSH at the top when mine says Bash. Obviously im missing a step.

PLEASE HELP!!!!

type

ssh root@IPOFATV2

you should get a prompt for your password. enter "alpine" without the quotes.
then follow the install instructions.

Or, use windows, download putty and connect using that.

no
you should already have it jailbroken and tetherbooted by this point.
So it should be plugged into the TV with the power cable and network cable in

You need to know the IP address of the device (check in the network settings)

SSH is connecting over the network.. not USB.

Its jailbroken and tethered.

When i type ssh root@IPOFATV2 nothing happens and this is shown:

ssh: Could not resolve hostname IPOFATV2: nodename nor servname provided, or not known
