Abstract

We  have  a  look  at  how  the  jailbreak  community  has  influenced  over  Apple  Tv  device's  multimedia  streaming offer to consumers paying special attention on those contents in Spanish and Portuguese. The company from Cupertino has always  mantained  tight  restrictions  on  which  contents  can  be  streamed  through  this  player,  but  independent  developers have made an effort to break these barriers and push the device to its limits. They have open a great field of opportunities for contents streaming over this device, such as the popular platforms XBMC or Boxee. Even though, Spanish spoken users can also find a significant amount of digital television channels streaming directly onto their devices thanks to the individu-al efforts of specific IT technicians' initiative.
