Same as Robbel and @Musicman. I have apple tv with upgraded hard disk and 2.0., no other hacks. 2.1 Software Update fails. I think that I had to update to 2.0 by downloading the dmg, placing it in a “restore” partition and selecting software factory reset option. Don’t know if that will take care of firmware update too. Please help.

@Musicman – if you get your issue solved please post. I have the same set-up and cannot load v2.1. Unlike you I get a Update error and the offer to start over again. 🙁

I did the update to 2.1 and my iPhone works fine controlling it, but now my normal IR remote is not able to do anything, like reset the dang thing to factory defaults. So this now sucks.

There is no volume control when using the Remote.app.

The “old” take two patchstick still enables sshd. If you accidentally installed nitoTV and messed up the menue (rebooting loop, only apple logo is showing) you can delete the nitoTV plugin and then just reboot it:

sudo rm -rf /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/PlugIns/nitoTV.frappliance

sudo reboot

No need to restore.
