This may be elsewhere on the forum, but I couldn't find anybody that had a solution (for me anyway). I ended up figuring it out myself. After jailbreaking with seasonpass and installing XBMC, all I got was a black screen after tethered-booting. I could use the remote and hear the clicking sounds... but no video.
Here's what fixed it for me. Let me know if this works for you.
1. SSH into the apple TV from terminal. Example: ssh root@192.168.0.11 (Password will be alpine if you haven't already changed it)
2. Type "ps -ax" and look for AppleTV.app in the list. Make note of the number to the left.
3. Type "kill" and the number to the left that you made note of from step 2. Example: kill 26
That's it! If you're experiencing the same problem I was, your AppleTV will reload it's GUI and you'll have picture!
Hope this helps somebody. My apologies if if this is common knowledge and has been discussed elsewhere.
