I have installed Firefox and silverlight but have had no success getting the browser to come to the front so I can get the activation code. Even then I wonder how to manage to key in the info as the ATv has no keyboard and I can't find how to load the drivers for one (it does have a USB port).
Any help would be appreciated.
Okay I am slightly farther ahead. I have installed an app called Remote HD on my IOS device and on the appletv. I now have a keyboard but can't get the cmd tab key sequence to work so I can switch between programs (XBMC and Firefox to be exact). I also can't get past the Netflicks welcome screen (i.e. "Thanks for installing. Once installation is complete restart browser") I have restarted firefox a number of times but this is as far as things get. Does anyone have any suggestions? BTW I am using an exact copy of the XBMCFlicks plugin as on my iMac running Snow Leopard. It works well on the iMac and I can switch to the movie or TV show I selected with no problems. I have also used the ATVusb creator (v 3) to jailbreak my appletv and followed the awkwardtv site's instructions for installing silverlight and Firefox.
