My only quibble is that you do need to have a guide open at the same time since it's not entirely clear what's happening at each step.
As for the post by someone else this month--on Windows 8.1 (at least) it worked just fine for me this time and my recollections of the process on the eMac were that they were painfully slow (of course, the eMac was probably 20 to 40 times slower than my i5 2.9 GHz Hackintosh/Windows machine ;-).

I deleted cache files - forced it to re-download the ipsw file - but always the same negative result.
Now I logged in as an Admin on my Mac (OS X 10.6.8) and the installer hangs when it says it is unzipping the ipsw file. takes forever and does nothing!
This piece of crap is broken.
BTW, check their blog > release announcement and you will find other people with problems.
They invest time in their iOS App "Infuse" and don't really care about hacking that old Apple TV 2nd Gen. (sad but true).

XBMC, at least as of May 25, 2012, would install via apt-get from the repositories, but did not display in the interface. A bit of googling turned up a patched deb package that could be installed with dpkg -i, so now I have xbmc.
I haven't had this version going long enough to detect stability problems, but previously, this would cause ATV2 to freeze up about once per week, requiring a reboot. It got to be a significant annoyance.
It helps to be able to use the command-line to ssh into the box directly, install wget, and download things like xbmc add-ons directly to the box.
Overall, considering what this is, and what you pay for it (it is free), it is a remarkable achievement. If you don't sort of enjoy software tinkering, however, this probably isn't going to impress you much. The modifications you can install are still quite limited. (I tried installing a VNC server. Although it works, it is so impossibly unresponsive, even with only 256 colors, that I decided to remove it. That's too bad, because I would really like a way to control my ATV2 from my laptop (one of mine is for music, and runs screen less).)

You should be able to run at something like 640x480, and perhaps have it be more responsive...

After 3 attempts, all with different error message results - the last one being the most frustrating - the software it has just downloaded and patched was incompatible with the device - I have resorted to using other software to get the job done.
I'm not a novice, I know my way around Macs & Apple products and have jailbroken a number of devices over the years without issue - except for when attempting with this software. I won't be wasting my time with this rubbish again.

I hadn't realised that Absinthe wasn't yet working with AppleTV or I would not have bothered. In sheer frustration at the hours of lost time, I had one more shot and successfully jail broke 1 unit - the other would not - 3 attempts before I gave up in disgust.
I tried different things that others had suggested - but in reality I have to question some of the suggestions such as cable - I have used this cable to jailbreak without incident using other software. I have encountered issues with this software each and every time I have used it - that tells me the weak link is more likely to be the software. This is further reinforced by the volume of similar comments a simple web search brings up.
I'm glad it has worked flawlessly for others - I simply do not have time to waste playing russian roulette - as annoying as it is, the other AppleTV will wait to be jailbroken when a more reliable software utility is available.

For the record, I jailbroke my AppleTV with seas0npass and had zero problems, it worked perfectly.

One word of caution on the current version (0.7.9). Losing power to the AppleTV for any reason will necessate a re-jailbreaking if you chose the tether boot process.
Question: Apple today (12/15/11) released AppleTV 4.4.4. Any know or have direct experience with this update and Seas0npass?
