It comes as no surprise to anyone really, but the Apple TV has been jailbroken in almost an instant on its arrival. The Dev Team hackers had already worked out how to hack the newest product from Apple, and were just waiting for it to arrive before they could show off their skills.
The Dev Team hackers used the SHAtter exploit that was used to jailbreak the fourth-generation iPod Touch on the Apple TV 2G. At the moment, you only have one App to choose from; Lowtide, but we can expect many more to come soon.
If you’re interested in seeing the process in action, see the video here. As with tampering with any device's software, always proceed with caution, especially as at the moment, a jailbroken Apple TV is close to useless, but this will probably change once we see more Apps appear for the device.
