I didn't even know there was an update out for Apple TV. I'll probly update mine. I wanted to jail break mine but i heard it was pretty difficult.

If by pretty difficult you mean "currently not possible," then yes--you are correct.

Ha ha yea I guess that is pretty difficult then! I forget where i read before that jail breaking Apple TV's are harder than an iPhone/iPad or other IOS devices.

As a standard rule you shouldn't update a device you want to jb.
I haven't read anything from the jb people telling us to update, so I would say no for now.

Seasonpass for ATV3 should be with us within days hopefully.
It has been successfully broken and in tethered beta test for the last month with 500 testers.
Testing finished a few days ago and an untethered version has been created.
The only developement needed now is a simple programme to install it before it is released free to the public.

Usually the best reliable source for news on ATV JB.

All seems genuine.
Same team that released the ios 5.1.1 jailbreak, so unlikely to be like recent hoax claims.

Can't wait.
