Success here, too. I wonder why iTunes Radio doesn't work (and has a blank icon), but no big deal. Thanks!
iTunes Radio doesn't work because it's an actual app that get's installed with the 6.0 software while the others are "shortcuts" to the vendor's servers

Despite I think new radio its only avaiable in US, will it be possible to port ios6 radio app ?
Heads up, this seems to break Netflix. I couldn't access it until I changed the version number back.
That said, the new channels seemed to work... So that's something. If you don't use netflix, this seems like a good solution for the new channels, but for me it isn't worth the trade off, I'll just continue using airplay.

This post bummed me out because it wouldn't be worth the trade off for me either if Netflix didn't work.
But on my end, Netflix still seemed to work as normal. What exactly happend?
Maybe it was a temporary access issue; try changing it back to 6.0 again and see if it happens again.

Not sure what's happening with your ATV but the Netflix on mine work fine.
Tried it again, still no go, Netflix tries and gives me the exact same error.
For reference, I am running 5.2 which I believe is the last untethered version.
Odd. You didn't say exactly what the error is, however.
Just note that at least 2 people (if not 3?) have confirmed here that we changed the info.plist as described and have the extra channels with Netflix still working.
Is it possible you made other changes to the info.plist? maybe start again from the original file (backed up, right?). Reboot the ATV2 of course.

Sorry, I forget the exact error, but it was basically "Netflix can't be reached".
The only changes I made was the version number. I've tried multiple times, and I always get the same error. Doesn't matter what my dns settings are, I use a dns service to get us Netflix, but the error never changes.
So while there are people who have had success, I can confirm that even with the single change it doesn't work for me.
Of course it is a simple enough change that giving it a try wouldn't hurt anyone. It either does or doesn't work.

Im having issues with netflix, im getting this error (atv-ui31) (ui= user interface ¿?)
Now, can anyone figure out how to spoof it so I can access the US services while logged into my Canadian account for iTunes Match?
Because that would be AWESOME.
I was able to get the channels on there, but they just wont work, none of the new ones, except apple events... it just says "accessing VEVO" or "accessing quello" - but wont work at all... any suggestions?

Which IOS version is installed on the ATV?
When I tried to spoof a 5.0.2 to 6.0, none of the channels would work. I had to upgrade to 5.2
Anyone brave know what we need to change it to for the Yahoo and PBS updates (if they are OTA that is). Using the method above and the version numbers above, they have not been pushed to me with just a reboot.

Same here, im not getting Yahoo and PBS channels..
Could it be related to geoip? double check? (ios version + build version)
Maybe we need to spoof to newest version 6.0.2 (6646.81.1)
There are some complains about Netflix not working on latest version..
I've recently updated from 5.0.2 to 5.2 and followed instructions above (setting info.plist to version 6) and got most of the new channels, but don't seem to have the 'Apple Events' channel which is one that I particularly wanted. Does anyone else have this? Is there a specific change required to enable it?

Tom, i reckon apple events are temporally avaiable... i used to have it a month ago and now its gone.
Thanks - thought that might be the case but good to have it confirmed. Sadly I found last night that my hacks seem to have killed Netflix for me too. That plus the loss of Plex (hadn't realised that would happen) ... Guess it's back to 5.0.2 then grrrr.
Spoofing does work.
You need to edit the Info.plist file under /private/var/stash/Applications/AppleTV.app
Modify the 2 keys below from 5.2 or what ever your version is to 6.0
<key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key>
<string>5.2</string>
<key>CFBundleVersion</key>
<string>5.2</string>
So have you got the new channels? Cause i havent.
Yes, I have all the channels, the only one that doesn't work is the new iTunes Radio.
I had originally spoofed my ATV2 that was still on 5.0.2 and got all the channels back but none of them would work.
I tried it on one of my other ATV's that was on 5.2 and voila, everything works perfectly, you don't even need to change the build number.
Great news then!..
Dont know why isnt working for me on 5.2.1, ill change key to 6.
If you had changed your keys to 5.2.1 that could explain it, I thought most channels only popped up on 5.3 but I might be wrong
Brillant, I got the channels... thanks.
It was definetively a version issue.

This also worked for me

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:422:]]
Solved! dont go for version 6 when editing info.plist . it seems to cause this netflix issue. I just modify all keys on info.plist to 5.3
Those values are what i had modified:
<key>CFBundleInfoDictionaryVersion</key>
<string>5.3</string>
<key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key>
<string>5.3</string>
<string>iPhoneOS</string>
</array>
<key>CFBundleVersion</key>
<string>5.3</string>
<key>LSRequiresIPhoneOS</key>
<true/>
<key>MinimumOSVersion</key>
<string>5.2</string>
It is at this point that I shall say: TEEHEE!
Thank you, I'll be trying this in a few minutes!
Solved?
Sure is!

That could be the problem then as I'm running 5.02. I'll try updating to 5.2
