Apple TV 2: Jailbreak - what you need to know

If you want to install and use additional apps on your Apple TV, then this is officially possible via the App Store. However, Apple only offers a limited number of apps for the Apple TV. To get around this, a jailbreak of the device is possible. However, there are some points to consider.

What does a jailbreak on the Apple TV 2

Apple provides the App Store for the Apple TV. Here you can install more apps that extend the functionality of the device. The apps include games, streaming providers and also music apps. However, if this is not enough for you, there is the option of a jailbreak. With this, you crack the software and can then install applications on the device that are actually not allowed.

1. Be aware that you access the system with a jailbreak. For this reason, you subsequently lose the complete warranty claim for the Apple TV.
2. In addition, the procedure also gives hackers the opportunity to access your system more easily. Also by installing third-party software on the system, viruses can get on the device and cause damage.
3. A jailbreak usually works by installing software. Auch für den Apple TV 2 gibt es diese bereits, wie beispielsweise „SeasOnPass“.
4. Eine genaue Anleitung erhalten Sie für gewöhnlich auf den entsprechenden Webseiten der Anbieter. Beachten Sie jedoch, dass das Jailbreaken von Geräten prinzipiell nicht erlaubt ist.
