Today according to Waisybabu from redmondpie.com the 2nd generation Apple TV can be jailbroken too.

The Software is available for download now, and while some people will love having administrator access on the new Apple TV, it will be disappointing for those that want to play their iOS apps on the big screen (there are none available at the time of writing).

It wasn’t long from the launch of Apple’s new TV device that we come across news on its future Jailbreaking potential, which was originally done by the iPhone Dev-Team.

Will you be daring enough to jailbreak your brand new Apple TV? Let us know how you get on and if there are any problems. I must say that if you were to go ahead, it is at your own risk and may leave your device unusable.

A new operating system was not designed by the company for Apple TV; it uses iOS4.1 with an app known as Lowtide for the user interface. This suggests Apple TV apps that are jailbroken will run independently of the main interface. This differs from the iPhone where jailbroken apps appear alongside official ones.

The iPhone Dev-Team behind the Apple TV jailbreak said “Literally the only UI application on the ATV is Lowtide.app, but now the window is open for jailbroken apps of all varieties”. This could mean that Apple TV’s which are jailbroken may need another interface to access unauthorized content.

We could see apps specially designed for hacked Apple TVs as was seen with the iPhone soon after it came out. Classic video game emulators could find their way on to it as well, and controlling them may come via Nintendo’s Wii Remote which has been used for jailbroken iPhones. At the moment the Jailbreak for the Apple TV is not public, so avoid any websites offering it.
