My ATV2 is scheduled to arrive today with the sole purpose of replacing my aged original Xbox with XBMC.
I'd rather do the untethered Greenp0ison jailbreak than the new tethered iOS 4.3 jailbreak from Seas0nPass (and I don't have a Mac anyway).
My question is when I plug the ATV2 in will it auto-upgrade to iOS 4.3 before I have a chance to jailbreak with Greenp0ison?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Is Apple still signing 4.2.1? That might explain it...

When you get your new aTV immediately connect it to your PC and start tiny umbrella and backup the shsh. Then jailbreak it with greepois0n.

I just went through this, I got my first ATV2 delivered yesterday and had the same concerns, but all worked without too much trouble. First thing I did was backup the shsh with tiny umbrella, I had some issues because it didn't see my atv and I had to do it manually, but after I got those saved I was relieved. After that I ran greenpoisOn, actually had to run it twice because it didn't take the first time, then installed Cydia from gp, then xbmc from within Cydia. I was never prompted to update at all. I hope yours goes well and hope my experience can put you at ease.
