Revert to 2.4 from 3.0...how?

[flanamac]

I am receiving a refurbished ATV today from Apple directly and I am sure they have 3.0 installed. I just purchased ATVFlash and it isn't compatible with 3.0 yet.

So, in anticipation of using ATV Flash tonight, if I want to go back to 2.4, how? Any thoughts? I cannot be the first to think of this.

Thanks for the help.

I think the only way is if it originally shipped with 2.4 then you have the option to restore to factory default, thus 2.4.

If not then I think you are out of luck.

Yeah, I was thinking that. I went to the Apple site and looked for downloading the OS for ATV and it simply isn't there because I guess they assume you are connected already and the downloading would occur almost automatically and who the heck would want to revert right?

Anyway, thanks.

Not entirely right...
