Are you wondering whether to do the jailbreak your Apple TV2? What exactly is jailbreak for on this device?
Having the jailbreak done we can install a browser, an application for the weather, but the main function of the jailbreak on the Apple TV2 is to make it the ultimate Media Center.
With programs like Plex or XBMC you can link your computer's library and view it directly from Apple TV via Wi-Fi, you can watch any movie in any format, avoiding the inconvenience of having to transform all of them to a format compatible with iTunes.
Comfort. That is what we are all looking for, here are some examples:

XBMC:

Personally, I'm thinking about it just for Plex.
One question, with this apple tv can I watch movies from the internet or do I have to have them downloaded to the computer? I do not understand much sorry I appreciate your help is that I am thinking of buying one but I do not really know how it works thanks
You can rent them from iTunes, if you have jailbreak you can also see them from online pages like cuevana or seriesyonkis.
.
You can also watch the movies you have on your computer too.
HELLO I HAVE AN APPLETV2 JAILBREAK, BUT A FEW DAYS AGO BY MISTAKE I LOADED THE NEW VERSION OF THE XBMC AND NOW I CANNOT SEE THE APPLE TV MENU, I CAN ONLY SEE THE XBMC. AND ONLY THAT. WHAT CAN I DO TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE ORIGINAL MENU I HAD BEFORE, WITHOUT LOSING THE JAILBREAK .. FOR ALL YOUR HELP THANK YOU VERY MUCH
To watch movies from the computer, I better connect the computer cable to my screen, so that the apple tv?, The jailbreack on the apple tv is not funny, as I repeat that I can simply do it by connecting the cable from my computer to the screen .
