Alright fellas I'm gonna give you a quick tutorial on how to make a quick $100-$150.
Apple is currently selling a new 3rd generation Apple TV on their website for $99 which means the previous model (Apple TV 2G) is selling used for about $50 if you can find one.
I've been finding them from local guys on craigslist.
Take the used 2G one, connect it to your wireless network and update its software to the latest Apple has to offer. V5.0.2. You can do it from the on screen menu.
Download Seas0npass and jailbreak it. It says V5.0.1 in the article but don't worry. It'll work.

Download link: http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/late.../putty.exe
Connect your Apple TV to your wireless network and find its IP Address.
Run Putty.exe and connect to your Apple TV.
ssh root@APPLETVIPADDRESS <~~insert your Apple TV's IP obviously
Enter the password alpine
Install Nito TV by entering the following commands into Putty:
apt-get update <press enter>
apt-get install com.nito.nitoTV <press enter>
Nito TV will install.
Reboot your Apple TV 2G by typing:
killall AppleTV into the Putty window.
Install Xbox Media Center by typing the following commands:
apt-get update <press enter>
apt-get install org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2
You can also install Xbox Media Center from the Nito TV menu if you wanted. I find it quicker and easier just to type two commands.
Type reboot.
That's it. You're done. You should have two new apps on your Apple TV main menu. Nito TV and XBMC.
Go on Ebay and you'll see them selling for like $170-$220 Jailbroken.
Post an ad and sell it for a quick $100-$150 profit.
Here's one selling for over $200 and it's not even jailbroken!!

Currently there is no jailbreak for the 3rd generation model. I'm sure they'll crack it in a month or so. So this is your chance to make some cash off this.
