One of the most popular posts I’ve written is about jailbreaking your Apple TV – why you’d want to and how to do it. Written three years ago, the Apple TV was either peaking or had already begun its decent as the clear choice for a video streaming device that could also run XBMC (now known as Kodi) when jailbroken. At the time the Apple TV 3 was just coming out and there was not yet a successful path to gaining root, so people were left to either grab a generation 2 model off eBay or continue to wait. The jailbreak process never came to the generation 3 model and the popularity of the device as a choice for a home theater PC faded. 

A major problem with jailbreaking your Apple TV is that you’ll no longer get the standard software updates for the device. That means once you gain root access, the Apple TV will never improve, even as new features and services are added. You could always redo the entire process but that’s a pain. This was OK before there were such a large number of services available but now with HBO Go, an upcoming NFL season ticket service, etc. it’s hard to justify keeping it around just for streaming media from your PC – especially when there are alternatives.

I’ve been using my Apple TV 2 – jailbroken with Kodi – for over 3 years now as my primary streaming device. I’ve upgraded the iOS version a couple of times to gain new services like HBO Go but it’s still not at the latest version. Lately my device has been unable to play video through HBO Go, probably due to the jailbreaking process. The fix is to factory reset the device but that would mean jailbreaking it yet again. Adding to my hesitation to do so, Kodi has announced that starting with the current version 15, the Apple TV will no longer be supported as a viable device. The whole point of me jailbreaking the Apple TV has always been to run XBMC/Kodi and now it’s not supported anymore! 

But I’m over it. The Apple TV can still exist as it does for me today and move to the basement TV or whatever. It’s time to upgrade.

I still want to use Kodi but now I don’t have to compromise thanks to a larger number of supported devices – most of which don’t require jailbreaking. There are a few standout options:

• Amazon Fire TV [FireOS]
• Amazon Fire TV Stick [FireOS]
• Google Nexus Player [Android TV]
• Nvidia Shield TV [Android TV]

These are all Android based devices but the difference is whether or not they run Android TV or not and how difficult it is to load the Kodi app. If you want to use the device for all kinds of services other than Kodi (let’s be honest, just HBO Go really) then you don’t…

Drawful 2

Draw your best representation of a specific phrase and try to get your friends to figure out what it is. It’s not entirely unlike Pictionary, but even harder because you only have one chance to draw your masterpiece.

Your friends can vote on which phrase they think matches your drawing and if they’re right, you’ll earn big points. If you come up with a funny phrase for your friends’ drawings, you might get a few bonus points, too. It’s a hilarious game for all ages.

Used to love this App

At first, this app was great; simple, uncluttered, and to the point. Over time this App has brought on more ads (which I get to a point – just don’t let it effect the quality of the experience), on a iPhone if I come close to touching a photo or a link – bammow! I’m teleported away, think last few updates have neglected this patch, talking about photos – with an online app it would seem photos would be even more used one because the lack of print costs seems to me means bring on the photos, two the audience isn’t consuming this new the way it would with a news paper (some readers may have never read a news paper to be honest) today’s app readers expect pics (boatloads) and I’m always blown away to read an article about a crazy post some celebrity did the “broke the net” only to open the arrival and not have a single pic of the subject person, the tweet/pic/post at all. Seriously!?!?…

Check out nine seriously cool ways to make the most out of your old Apple TV.

OK, play time is over. Last week’s article on five things to do with your obsolete Apple TV was meant to bring some light humor to your day, but we heard your comments loud and clear. Many of you looking for legitimate tips on what to do with an old Apple TV felt misled by the headline when you wound up scrolling through a sarcastic list. For that, we apologize. I apologize.

But we’re not all talk and no action at Cult of Mac. Without further ado, here is an actual list of nine things – four extras because we like you a lot – that you can do with your old or soon-to-be-obsolete Apple TV. For real this time. Seriously.

1. Use your television as a giant computer screen

If you own at least a second-generation Apple TV (anything but the large silver box) you can set up AirPlay Mirroring from your Mac to use your television as a giant display. Bonus points if you add a wireless Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, which will let you toss your Mac aside, sit on the couch and use your Mac with your huge living room TV. AirPlay Mirroring generously runs pretty smoothly so performance shouldn’t be an issue.

2. Jailbreak it and give it new life

Your old Apple TV can still get many new features.

Yes, it’s possible to jailbreak your Apple TV and yes it’s legal. So now that yours is old and seemingly losing value, breathe new life into it with third-party apps and extra media files.

For this, you’ll need some downloads and some cash. Download Seas0npass on your computer to jailbreak the Apple TV. Follow the instructions and make sure you have a micro-USB cable handy for hooking up your Apple TV. Then, purchase aTV Flash (either the Black or Silver edition, depending on your Apple TV model) for $30 and install that. This allows you to play almost any file type for music or video, browse the web, install third-party apps and more on your Apple TV.

3. Turn it into a server

This works nicely as a follow-up for the jailbreaking idea, since for this step you’ll need a jailbroken Apple TV. At the heart of every Apple TV is an extremely low-powered computer. It’s no easy task to accomplish, but it is possible to get it running as a web server. OS X Daily has a great guide for exactly how to do that. You’ll need to enter quite a few commands into Terminal, plus have an SFTP client handy for some uploading.

4. Move it to the bedroom

Just because a new Apple TV is grabbing your attention doesn’t mean you can’t use the old one exactly how it is. Apple always talked about using the Apple TV as…
