I want to use the Internet and a keyboard on my Apple TV!

[logicpro7]

Is there a way of being able to use my Apple TV for internet surfing on my TV?

Also, scrolling through the Apple TVs alphabet to type is annoying, could a keyboard be used? Or iPhone?

Cheers.

If you are using the Remote app with your iPhone or iPad, the keyboard will popup and you will be able to use that.

Thanks, i will download the Remote App.

Is there any jailbreak out there that could enable internet surfing through the Apple TV?

The remote app is great, especially for iPad. Although I don't plan on jail breaking my Apple TV I know there are some developers working on Internet browsers for it. I know even a beta release is out.

I think ATV Flash Black will be able to let you surf the internet. It is still in beta now, but they say it will be finished soon. It costs ~$20 to pre-order and $30 when it is released.

ya using the iphone as a keyboard is nice. plus i think bluetooth keyboard support may come sometime. But you need to jailbreak and then use atv flash. (atv flash only works on mac right now and a untethered jailbreak is only for ios 4.1)
