Jaman launches first commercial Apple TV hack
While Apple has yet to authorize third party development on the Apple TV, hackers have been adding applications to the box pretty much since the day it was released.The Apple TV is a $300 box designed to let you watch iTunes content on your TV set without plugging your computer directly into your TV. It streams content from your Mac and the internet over your home network.
Hackers have added RSS feeds, support for non-iTunes videos, and the ability to upgrade your hard drive. Now Jaman has released a commercial plugin for renting movies from the Jaman service. You'll need to hack your Apple TV in order to install the plugin, and you'll need to have the Jaman Player installed on both your computer and your Apple TV.
