AppleTV’s many uses

March 29th, 2008 · No Comments · AppleTV

I haven’t paid much attention to the AppleTV. After all, I watch lots of movies off the internet. Not just the stuff that Apple wants to sell me. However, iClarified.com in addition to doing great work on the iPhone also knows how to hack the AppleTV. It is a subsidized device, so for $300, you get a 120GB hard drive and a complete computer if you can unlock it.

Here’s how to do it by using a magic USB flash drive, appropriately hacked to unlock it. Then you can:

  1. It becomes a general purpose appliance for very cheap
  2. You can run Asterisk on it for a home PBX which is neat
  1. You can watch any internet downloadable movie.

    Pretty cool
