Re: Apple TV 2nd Gen - What would you recommend to install for the best set up?

[crashtestmac]

Well....

I am very impressed.
I re did my ATV last night updating to latest OS.
NiTO TV installed fine.
ATV installed great
then tried the netflix and that works as well.
used unblockUS and all is hunky dory, had to do the DNS change on my imac as wel which must let their systems know that you have an account.

thanks all.
the boy is well pleased.... :-)

To access US NetFlix content change your device DNS to;

Primary: 149.154.158.186
Secondary: 199.167.30.144

Reboot device, access NetFlix US store!

Am I being dumb?

Netflix is a standard feature of apple tv.. No jailbreak required and nothing to do with xbmc.

Looks like my atv2 doesn't have it then. Is the anyway for me to get it without losing my JB do you know?
Thanks for the speedy response.

[andmor]

It should be in the main ATV menu somewhere.. If u r running ios5 it will appear as a Netflix icon.

[jaygo]

Magic got it.
Turns out it was hiding in the Internet menu for some reason

Just changed my DNA settings and my Netflix is now USA version too

[Larrylakes]

That works a treat, thanks! Also, looks like the hulu plugin works using this workaround!!

No

That'll teach me not to impulse buy again lol.

lol same here, I've got an xbmd'd atv2 and its great, I pre-ordered an atv3 thinking xbmc with 1080p will be a great addition, its sat beside a telly in the bedroom, we use it for watching the odd youtube video and for watching netflix on a night

Not for XBMC which is a shame (and its looking unlikely to happen anytime soon now)

But you can certainly use Netflix with the USA settings no problems which is pretty decent - Spennyboys settings he posted above work a treat and will save u having to pay for unblock-us

[casio]

true, I've switched over to the settings for now, if it works like it is at the moment I'll shit can unblock-us

Hi guys currently trying to sort my ATV2 out and kinda stuck.
at this point, 1 So you need to connect via WinScp to install Nito TV first.
2 To do this, go into the ATV on the TV and Settings - General - About and make note of the IP address.
3 With the ATV2 on, go to WinSCP and enter the IP in the HOST Name.
4. Username is "root" and password is "alpine"
5. Hit OK/Enter.
6. WinSCP will then search for the device on your network, and you may have to press Yes to any Pop Ups etc
7. You should then be able to see a screen which shows your PC on one side, and the ATV2 on the other side.
8. Once you're in the ATV you need to run a CMD, click the command box on Winscp at the top toolbar (it's in black)

it seems to connect but then says access denied.. and requests the password i have used apline but its not playing ball

sorted had to set to xp comp and run as admin

right guys not a massive film tv show watcher etc but i think ive managed to change dns on my router, but how do i know im getting the USA stuff rather than UK, atm when i searched for family guy I expected to see higher than season 8 ?

anyway of testing the water to make sure im getting the usa content rather than the uk?

cheers

[casio]

check for films like thor and captin america if they show up your on the us version, other than that from memory midsummer murders wasnt on the uk version but the us had all 8 series although that could have changed

[consoles]

Captain America showing so its all good cheers

[consoles]

right guys still having much luck getting the plugins working as the connection seems to keep timing out before all the commands are complete?

any ideas please.

[casio]

which is timing out the atv2 or the plugins themselves?
