Greenpois0n will Jailbreak Apple TV 2G ?
Just a quick little heads-up, chronic dev has just sent a tweet mentioning that the Apple TV might support the Greenpois0n jailbreak. As you’re probably aware that the Greenpois0n jailbreak will be released by October 10, but this release will be only for iOS 4th generation devices (iPhone 4 and iPod touch 4G) and iPad, so the hackers are focusing on this one, so don't expect to see the Apple TV 2G jailbreak in the next Sunday.
greenpois0n supports: The iPad, the iPhone 4, and the iPod touch 4. Probably the AppleTV as well.For now there is no ETA (estimate to arrival) for Apple TV 2G jailbreak, as it still have some issues, but you have to know that dev-team has been succeeded in using the SHAtter exploit with PwnagTool to jailbreak the Apple TV 2G. We expect to see significant progress after we will get the Sunday Jailbreak.

DFU mode (Device Firmware Update) is a special mode where the device can still interface with iTunes. In DFU mode the screen will be totally black. StealthBravo has sent a tweet showing how to put the Apple TV in DFU mode. You will be in dire need of this guide when the jailbreak tool is released, especially the new jailbreak would be throw a custom firmware, as the SHAtter exploit loaded on the PwnageTool to jailbreak the Apple TV 2G.

Step 1: Plugin your Apple TV to computer with microUSB.
Step 2: Hold menu + down button together for 6 secs to reboot.

SHAtter and Jailbreak AppleTV 2G Done Successfully with PwnageTool [Video] [Update 1x]
Few moments ago, MuscleNerd of iPhone Dev-Team has sent a picture throw his twitter confirming that Apple TV 2G has successfully been SHAttered and jailbroken on iOS 4.1, as you know the SHAtter exploit has been discovered by Pod2g, also the same exploit already is being used in upcoming iPhone 4 , iPad and iPod touch 4G jailbreak (a.k.a Greenpois0n) on iOS 4.1.
AppleTV 2G SHAttered and jailbroken http://is.gd/fDAbc (not quite sure how to run apps yet!)It makes sense that I conclude that the new jailbreak tool will see the light within little few days. We have to remind you again that if you are interested in the Apple TV jailbreak, so it's better to buy it early before Apple patches the discovered exploits.
Update 1: iPhone Dev-Team has just updated the SHAtter exploit post in their official blog, with a new video showing that SHAtter successfully tricked Apple’s new AppleTV 2G into restoring to a pre-jailbroken IPSW from PwnageTool too!
It’s confirmed…SHAtter can trick Apple’s new AppleTV 2G into restoring to a pre-jailbroken IPSW from PwnageTool too! Literally the only UI application on the ATV is Lowtide.app, but now the window is open for jailbroken apps of all varieties. (Just like the early iPhone days, the only apps you’ll see on the AppleTV will be jailbroken ones). In the meantime, here’s a video showing root access (via ssh) into Apple’s new product.
We will of course let you know once they are ready for prime time use. Stay tuned for that! [via Dev-Team]
