That $99 piece of hardware just became much, much more valuable.

Wow.. This is impressive. Been looking for a reason to buy one of these, and this is it.

i'm having trouble getting it installed. if anyone could lend a had that'd be great.

If I had an ATV2, I'd be more than happy to help. However, I just have a dedicated ION/XBMC Live system.
But I'll try. Where are you stuck?

after i execute apt-get install org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2 winscp says host is not communicating for more the 15 seconds.... so it doesnt install.

Interesting... I'll look into that. That's weird it would hang like that. Sometimes it will ask if you are sure you want to install, prompting for you to press Y or N.

I went ahead and typed out the install procedure and information about each step.

First, make sure your iDevice is jailbroken. Before you start, you need to know how to SSH into your iDevice.
You also need to know the root password (default is alpine), and the current IP address of your iDevice.

Open terminal on your mac, and connect to the iDevice by typing
ssh root@192.168.1.115
obviously you'll change the IP address to the one of your iDevice.

Then add the repository by typing
echo "deb http://mirrors.xbmc.org/apt/atv2 ./" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xbmc.list

Then get the updated list of files from the repository
apt-get update

Now install XBMC by typing
apt-get install org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2

If you run into problems, you might have to run the commands as sudo

Nice!! If this works well I'll have to buy an Apple TV

yea its jailbroken i've install atvflash (black) and i ran all of those.

Typically install commands end with:
Do you want to continue [Y/n]?
You'll notice that it will wait for you to press Y in order to continue.

great!!, now hopefully untethered 4.2/4.3 JB comes out soon ...
Can't wait to try this
