Can we somehow connect USB hard disk to the ATV2 (with or without jailbreak)?
does the jailbreak still work on the new appletv 4.2.1?
Can someone who is running Plex on ATV2 explain it a bit better?
I'm assuming with no storage...you are NOT running plex on your ATV2...you are running plex on another computer and streaming to your ATV2. If this is so...this is a HUGE difference and saying plex is running on your ATV2 is not correct.
So how does the plex app work on ATV2?
I am still waiting for this answer too... Anyone?

No- in fact I tried to JB a 4.0 (ios 4.1) ATV2 last night and couldn't as it seems apple does not support the old software anymore, so the custom restore fails. I successfully JB one last week and the same method last night did not work- looks like we have to wait till dev JB 4.2 for any more love
Is there a way to add a web browser, either Safari or Firefox? I watch alot of stuff on ustream.tv.
is there a way to remove (or hide) the "Movies" and "Tv Shows" items from the ATV main menu using NitoTV?
I'd like mine to just have Plex and Internet.
Can Netflix be moved up a level to main menu?

I was able to remove the TVShows and Movies menu items from my ATV2 by doing the below:
1. used cyberduck to ssh to ATV2
2. used the dropdown to get myself to the topmost directory "/"
3. clicked on applications folder (shortcut)
4. clicked on AppleTV.app folder
5. clicked on appliances folder
6 renamed the Movies.frappliance folder to Movies.frappliance .old
7. renamed the TV.frappliance folder to TV.frappliance.old
got out of cyberduck (disconnected
8. rebooted the ATV2
the menu items for TV Shows and Movies are gone, leaving the main menu alot less cluttered
I personally think, now that websites and third party apps can use airplay, the need to jailbreak has gone down. It is now possible that one could use an app on their iOS device to push media that is stored on their Mac to an AppleTV.
My advice for anyone thinking about jailbreaking-wait till the update comes out and see what developers come up with. I think this may be the killer feature that we are all waiting for
Not sure why anyone would want to but you can already remove the TV Shows and Movies menu items in the Settings on a bone stock Apple TV. No need for all that. Apple provides an easy way to do it.
no benefit since 90 percent of the stuff doesnt work right anyway
xbmc is highly touted but everyone i know who has installed says it chokes on all the video
