Dont fall for such websites guys, there is no JB for aTV3 yet, the community is very small and not much time is dedicated to jail breaking the device.

The best thing about aTV3 is it ability to stream idevices using Airplay technology. But you can also use a windows PC to avail the Airplay I will list the softwares at the end of the post. Although I wish I could install XMBC on it to fully utilise this devices capabilities as I think Apple is not fully utilising the potential of this device, it can have serious utility as not only a media device but also as a gaming platform in the future.

I attached the optical out to my HiFi stereo now I can stream music from anywhere in my house, regularly watch youtube channels directly from my iPad using the Youtube App (Airplay enabled). So I dont regret buying this at all.

For Mac users you can Mirror the desktop directly to your HDTV using aTV3, but you can use software such as Beamer to stream movie directly to aTV without mirroring the desktop.

Softwares:

Beamer: http://beamer-app.com (only mac)

AirParrot: http://www.airsquirrels.com/airparrot/ (both PC and mac)

Youtube App for iPad

What if you dont have AppleTV, no Airplay.

For all those who do not own one they can still enjoy Airplay by using a software called Airserver. It essentially acts as a Airplay receiver just like your aTV would.
