SeasonPass was created and is maintained by the FireCore Dev-Team. These are the same developers behind the most popular Jailbroken extension for the Apple TV – aTV Flash (black) and also MiRow for Mac OS X.

The difference between a Tethered and Untethered Jailbreak
There are two types of Jailbreaks available when you go to Jailbreak Apple TV – a Tethered Jailbreak or an Untethered Jailbreak. An Untethered Jailbreak means that your Apple TV will function as normal once Jailbroken. A Tethered Jailbreak on the other hand is different. It means that when you Jailbreak you cannot power your Apple TV off. When you do this while your Jailbreak is Tethered it means in order for your Apple TV to turn back on you will need to plug it into the computer and re-run Seas0nPass over again. Once you do this your Apple TV functions as normal… no data is lost. Hence the term tethered, because you are Tethered to your computer.

If this is the case often times they will release a Tethered Jailbreak and then an Untethered Jailbreak later on once they find a suitable exploit.
