This page should have a small blurb explaining that 4.3 (4.2.1 in ATV) does not work with current-stable XBMC, but rather the daily code which is unstable... maybe a link to that discussion?

This page should be updated to reflect that Seas0nPass isn't the only method, greenpois0n can be used for an untethered jailbreak. http://www.appletvhacks.net/2011/02/16/how-to-jailbreak-apple-tv-2-with-greenpois0n-rc6/

As of the Seas0nPass 0.70 update, the xbmc apt repository is already pre-configured (along with several others) after jailbreaking the ATV2. The only steps necessary to get XBMC running now are:

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2

…answering yes to all prompts as necessary. Felius 09:47, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

The instructions are missing few steps. These are documented in the forums, and I am simply copying them here.

apt-get install wget wget -O- http://apt.awkwardtv.org/awkwardtv.pub | apt-key add - echo “deb http://apt.awkwardtv.org/ stable main” > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/awkwardtv.list apt-get update


The following is also missing and should be performed right after apt-get update:

apt-get upgrade

I'm getting following error:

Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

 org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2: Depends: org.xbmc.xbmc-seatbeltunlock but it is not going to be installed

E: Broken packages
