I am completely stymied trying to jailbreak my Apple TV.

[Lotheron]

Everything over WiFi for me using SMB share. I have zero problem with mine since all my content are either 720p mkv or SD 480p avi. Zero buffering, stutter or lag playing back anything. I have about 300 movies and videos currently.

I do get buffering if I try to stream 720p movies from Icefilms but I think those movies are AVI encoded and internet streaming is really dependent on the server and how many people are on it. But 480p movies from Icefilms stream perfectly. I don't have any problem streaming movies and shows from Navi-X but I think everything on there is SD Divx encoded so it's not taxing at all even on slow internet connection.

Same, I have no issues over Wifi 54G. This is with 720p x264 and everything. fast forward and rewind have no issues.

here's a stupid question: when jailbreaking using Lotheron's guide atv2 must be plugged in to electrical outlet for power, correct?

for some reason i think i saw on iclarified that power should not be connected during jailbreak.

EDIT: nvm, i did it without power connected, only micro-usb. worked like a charm. here are my specs:

win 7 pro 64-bit
ios 4.2.2 (presumably)
