The only other way is to use a micro USB to connect the Apple TV to your Mac, you would have to restore the unit. You won't be able to download the firmware directly to your Mac and update later.


Note: Without internet connection you will only be able to use Apple TV for home sharing (this still requires wifi, and iTunes purchases may not stream)
