Hi, I just spent 7 hours on something that should have taken 10 minutes, and since I couldn't find a single simple and up to date tutorial here or anywhere I thought I'd make one so others can benefit. This require 0 command line.
This is really straightforward and valid as of 17 July 2011:
1- Buy an ATV2
2- Download and install the latest ITunes, reboot your pc
3- Download and extract snowbreeze 2-7-3 (http://j.mp/nVzFGR)
4- Download the 4.2.2 firmware - http://j.mp/nChSSB
5- Follow the instruction for the Jailbreak at http://j.mp/nJtlBb, KEEP YOUR ATV UNPLUGGED from the MAINS!! (they don't make that clear) - the usb can power it.
6- Start the ATV2 with the ethernet in, check you got the new tab, update 'nitotv'
7 - REBOOT by taking it off and back on the mains <<< this is important
8- In Nito TV install 'update be gone' and 'XBMC'.
It's done, it works, the XBMC build is dated 23 june (10-09) and you don't need to mess around with OS downgrades, nightlies, greenpoison, seasonpass, commandline, wget or voodoo magic
