Another AppleTV post :)

I have been lucky enough to be gifted an AppleTV for Christmas, previously I have been using my laptop plugged in to my TV with firefox+adblock when I want to block ads, otherwise I use the inbuilt smartTV features.

I am looking for advice on the most effective methods of ad-blocking on appleTVs:

  1. Do network-wide adblocks have any effect on ads on apple tv? - I am specifically concerned that there will be a transition from browser to app when I stop using my laptop (especially for Youtube!) which seems to be challenging, nigh on impossible, for network wide adblocks to work effectively.
  2. If not, does anyone know of an effective method (or the most effective method) of adblocking for an AppleTV?

The next two questions are slightly less adblock-specific:

  1. Can I install a browser on my AppleTV? I am going to google this now but failing any easy solutions I'd appreciate advice on alternative ways of getting access to browsers on the device.
  2. Is AppleTV able to be jailbroken/are there any last-ditch methods for effective adblocking?
