Patchstick2.1 - all you need for ATV v2.1
Patchstick 2.1 provides the FULL functionality for the everyday AppleTV user with Apple TV v 2.1
- enable ssh access for remote login into your ATV (e.g through Fugu); this allows you to just copy files over to it without having to synchronize your files through iTunes
- install ATV Files, a plugin which allows you to browse the folder structure of your ATV and play movies directly from these folders
- install additional audio and video codecs so you are not limited to Apple's native format. You are now able to watch avi, mpeg, wmv etc. movies in native form - NO re-encoding necessary !
- install Couchsurfer, a Webbrowser specifically designed for Apple TV - why browse on your 17" monitor if you can use your 50" Plasma TV ? - UPDATE - Couchsurfer has been removed until further notice. We will provide you with the required information to install Couchsurfer by yourself or we can can help you installing it.
- install the Jaman plugin, a tool to watch movies on your ATV which were rented on the Jaman website - why watch movies on your tiny monitor if you can enjoy them on your nice Plasma TV ?
- install the Sapphire plugin, a tool designed to take all the hassle out of managing media collections connected to your AppleTV. Sapphire has the ability to identify TV Shows and Movies simply by looking at the filename.
We are offering Patchstick 2.1 for ATV firmware 2.1 without the automatic installation of nitoTV because the developer, nito, changed the copyright of the plugin, and right now we are not allowed to deliver nitoTV on our Patchsticks. We apologize for any inconvenience. We respect copyright and we are committed to our customers.
We are in the process of trying to get permission to put nitoTV back on our Patchsticks. The good news - a 2.1 compatible update of nitoTV (version 0.4.8) has just been released and can be downloaded here.
Although some of the functions of nitoTV can be covered by other plugins, we understand that our customers also want to use nitoTV. That is why we decided to offer a detailled installation manual for the installation of nito TV on your Apple TV with each Patchstick 2.1 purchase. If you are running into problems, remember that you get a FREE 15 min help session with each Patchstick purchase.
The Patchstick has to be activated and registered before it can be used. In order to do this, you need a Mac computer and an internet connection.
The price for Patchstick 2.1 is 45 CAD plus shipping & handling. All Patchsticks will be checked for file system integrity and shipped via Registered mail only. You will be provided with a tracking number and a detailed description on how to activate and use the Patchstick. With each Patchstick purchase, you get a FREE 15 min support session (via email, iChat or Skype) in case you run into issues.
A downloadable solution is also offered at a 5 CAD discount. Please note that not all USB sticks work with AppleTV, so there is NO guarantee and NO support if you use your own stick. Please note that downloadable products are not refundable under any circumstance.
This Patchstick version has been compiled from publicly available sources and adjusted to fit AppleTV&More's purposes. The stick is based on a Linux bootloader which is also publicly available. The Patchstick does not violate any copyright.

Important Information on Apple's ATV 2.1 firmware released today
We verified that Patchstick2.0 still works with ATV's that are natively on version 2.02. In order to use Patchstick2.0, you just do a factory restore (to 2.02), but you do NOT upgrade to the new version !
We also offer Patchstick2.1 as a physical stick and as a download solution. Patchstick2.1 works with the newest AppleTV firmware 2.1. Because of incompatibilities with nitoTV, we currently cannot not offer nitoTV on Patchstick2.1. We are working on a solution and will ensure that our customers will get the best value for their money.
AppleTVSource states that important security issues have been fixed with version 2.1. We strongly suggest to upgrade to the newest firmware version to benefit from these improvements. However we still offer Patchstick 2.0 for customers who do not upgrade.
Buy with confidence - whatever firmware you have, we will support you.

Build the Patchstick yourself - get the right USB drive from us
You don't want to buy our ready-made Patchsticks, but rather build it yourself ? No problem, there are many sources out there that will enable you to do it - you will need some time, some OS X and Linux knowledge, patience and a USB stick that will be recognized by Apple TV.
However, not every USB drive will work together with Apple TV. You can either go through several ones to finally find a working one, or get a compatible 1 GB USB flashdrive directly from us .
We offer you the exact same USB sticks that we use for our Patchstick. Once you patched your Apple TV, you just use it for every day purposes. You can buy our original ATV& More USB stick online.
