Apple TV Factory Restore

I'm looking to purchase an Apple TV that has been hacked off Craigslist. Is it possible to factory restore the Apple TV and then put the Take 2 (latest firmware) on the Apple TV and remove the hack?

i believe so. unless the hack they used included hardware modifications, which could complicate things.

Yes, anytime you do a factory restore, it returns to the original software on the AppleTV. I've done it, many times with a hacked AppleTV.
