What do you mean by "successful"? I've got no problem connecting to netflix via VPN using unifi. Or do you mean streaming TM's hypo tv channels through ATV?

Means if I buy Apple TV must setup VPN then only can use the device?..

Depending on what you want to do with it .. you can stream movies from your Mac through itunes to the AppleTV. If you want to subscribe to online streaming services in the US, yes, you need either VPN or a mechanism such as unblock-us.com ..

Sad to say, no you can't use appletv to watch those channels streamed by Unifi's IPTV. Read more about it here:

So basically if I do not have VPN or other mechanism I can only stream movie to the apple TV and watch it from my TV, thats all?

Yup, it works just like those media players sold here:

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...62384&hl=player

Just that, without jailbreaking it, you can only stream movies through itunes. There are few other services offered which are free like youtube etc. which I've never try them.

For FREE? That's what I want! .. currently using paid netflix service, care to share what services that I could stream for free? I've install XBMC and streaming some services, but they're not all latest tho'.

Icefilms and navi-x works like a charm. Very easy to use and reliable streams.

I guess you've the Apple TV 1st generation instead of the new black box. The black box is not as powerful as the old AppleTV and I couldn't find those media streaming service from my XBMC list.

Do you need a vpn to stream the netflix? AFAIK it required vpn since its geoblock right?

Either VPN or unblock-us.com should work.

Astro won't sue Apple since Apple only allows few streaming services, mostly US based one. If Apple decided to go local, they probably will ask Astro to develop an app, just like those Netflix, Hulu etc. that run on the AppleTV.

correct me if i'm wrong but the 200mb file should be the cover art pack.

btw search for george carlin on netflix and give him a watch wiraone, he's a brilliant brilliant person and one of my fav comedian tongue.gif (do so without the presence of your kids though, if they're <13 years of age)

his view on human behavior is brilliant, yet he chooses to convey it in a really crude manner tongue.gif

also Netflix works for you on your iPad? did you set it according to unblock-us' settings or using your other* modem? because it hasn't been working for me off late . (iPad + unblock-us)
*
I'm not using unblock-us .. Am using a dedicated AP which has VPN activated.

A Singapore website is selling at RM400 with free postage. Is this a good deal?
*
AppleTV cost US$99 in the US before shipping/tax. So, for RM400 .. I believe its an okay price to pay.

Ok thanks man. Could you provide me any URL to a website or Youtube for the good jailbreak tutorial?

There are quite a number of guides out there, search for 'firecore seas0npass' on google and you'll get what you wanted smile.gif

To JB, make sure you've the AppleTV connected via micro-USB and it shouldn't be connected to A/C power. The rest of the guide can be found in firecore's website.

There is easier method to install XBMC but you need to pay for it.. to install XBMC through ssh, here is the guide:

hi im noob here...smarttv and appletv are similar things ? if we cannot access netflix and hulu means both smarttv and appletv are meaningless ?

No idea what smarttv is, but with appletv, you can install xbmc .. and as aceedburn, you can do a lot of thing with it smile.gif .. I couldn't play much with mine since my son's have the sole ownership of the appletv + tv .. can't watch astro too .. need to get another tv smile.gif

Just wondering if the topic starter is still active, probably we could do a first page FAQ and guides on how to install xbmc, navi-x, or on how to subscribe to the streaming services.


Added on January 31, 2012, 8:33 amor probably acidburn can do at his thread instead?

don't think so bro, as jailbreaking is considered "piracy" and the thread will get deleted by the admins. Unless there'sa private forum, we can probably only discuss these things via pm.
*
Jailbreaking is no longer considered as piracy, there are one thread each in iphone, ipad and ipod sub-forums. I believe admins are okay with this. There is no piracy discussion anyway on AppleTV since no commercial applications are allowed on it.

How to play movie (avi and mvk) from my imac?

Two ways:

1) I believe XBMC can play avi and mkv (haven't test this), if yes, you can mount your iMac filesystem from xbmc. Activate file sharing and use the guide here to get afp running on apple tv2:

http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=109723

2) Stream it, use Plex or vlc, guide to install plex media server can be found here:
