Looking to buy one and it looks like I'll need it jail broken to get the most out of it. Any places that do it ?

Don't want to pay £200+ for a pre jail broken one of eBay if I can buy it for £70 and get it done cheaper .

Thanks

You'll struggle to get a Apple TV 2 for £70. The current version is 3 I tihnk and these can't be jailbroken which is why the 2 is so valuable.

What do you want to do on it that you can't do on another system?

Just noticed that all the cheap ones are Apple 3 !

Would basically be wanting to mirror a dodgy football streaming site, put locker etc from ipad/iPhone to main tv. Would the Apple 3 do this ?

My apple TV 3 plays putlocker movies through ipad mirroring perfectly. Not tried it with any footy streams though.

AirParrot would do that, pretty sure it's compatible with iOS devices. I'll give it a go when I get home tonight.

Actually looks like you can do it natively without any 3rd party app.

The only other issue is aren't most of these dodgy stream sites flash based?? iOS and flash don't like playing with one another but I assume you know this and have some other third party app to get round this?
