On the Apple TV browser hack: The good news is that something easier is coming, the bad news is that your experience was just about the same as mine. When I wrote that hack it worked exactly as written. When I tried to follow the instructions from the book after updating my Apple TV to the latest version (after the book came out) the instructions no longer worked.

The problem seems to be that the patchstick program had changed. When i used the old patchstick program it worked but not with the new one. It is hard to write this kind of stuff when everything is in flux. On of the mistakes I made in the book was not stressing that enough. A “if this doesn’t work try the latest instructions at blah blah” or perhaps explaining what is going on in greater depth.

Thanks for taking the time to read the book!
