ATV2 Fresh install checklist.
#1
Hi all, i've just installed XBMC on a new ATV2 (my second install ever)
Just wanted to make sure i've not missed anything as this one is not for me, so wanting to minimise tech support Smile

I've got the shsh blobs (4.2.1 and 4.3.1)
I've jailbroken it.
I've installed XBMC (didn't work from nito-tv so did it via apt-get)
I've installed updatebegone
I've installed nano via apt-get
I've manually edited the hosts file to include the 3 apple update addresses.
I've set the timezone symbolic link up.

Anything else?

Thanks

If you install updatebegone you don't need to manually edit the hosts file...

I did on my first ATV2. I would still get XBMC just randomly exiting back to the apple menu as updatebegone only put in one host into the hosts.
I tried adding the other two, and now XBMC doesn't randomly exit.

better to be safe than sorry Smile
