    I believe redsn0w will jailbreak the apple tv 2,but it will be tethered, so you'll have to rerun what ever tool you use to boot the apple tv. So if you do just don't ever turn off your apple tv.

    That is the current situation I believe. Comex stated that the untethered jailbreak that will be released near Christmas (according to him) will contain untethered support for the Apple TV on 4.2.1

    I don't have a Mac so Plex is pretty useless for me:(

    Then its not worth jailbreaking is it?

    Don't just jailbreak for the hell of it.

    Someday the Apple TV will get more jailbreak support.

    You can get the beta now but it's stupid to pay for what you can do for free. And it doesn't work on the last updates.
