[mythtv-users] Apple TV 2.1 running MythFrontend

[Michael Brancato]

I recently purchased an Apple TV running the Take 2 software 2.1.  There 
are tons of guides for installing things on Apple TV 1.x, but few guides 
just for 2.x.  I need some help getting MythFrontend working as an 
Application on the Apple TV.

I do not want to install a Linux distro on my Apple TV or dual-boot.  I 
want both MythTV and the Apple TV features.

Here is where I stand.  I followed the basic guide to install 
MythFrontend on my Apple TV. (Awkward TV and MythTV wiki)

I used a patchstick to install SSH.
I installed nitoV 0.5 for application launching
I launch MythFrontend and the language selection screen shows up (with a 
bit of overscan)
<stop>

My remote won't work to control MythFrontend so it seems.  I also can't 
seem to setup VNC since I don't have the 1.0 recovery image.

Maybe someone on this list will be able to fill in some of the 2.x gaps? 
  After following the directions to disable ripstop and the watchdog 
timer, I soon realized that was bad because my Apple TV constantly 
rebooted after being uup for 5 minutes.

How can I get the remote working? or VNC?

Regards,
