If you can work PayPal you have all the skills necessary to do it by yourself.

I am also buying one of these today. I was not aware they could be jailbroken.

What advantages and options does this open up for the device?

What functionality specifically are you trying to gain by rooting?

Pretty much replaces netflix/hulu, can watch any TV show or movie even in theatres, pron, live TV but it is firstrow quality from what I understand.

The stick cannot be rooted or jailbroken, however you can sideload android apps easily by using a PC and fire tv utility app. The sticks are particularly popular to install kodi (formerly known as xbmc. Tvmc is a customized build of kodi with certain plug-ins already installed.

You don't need to root to add kodi/ xbmc .I've personally installed it on 8-10 fire TV & sticks

The instruction linked above are pretty easy to do

*the video quality ranges from 1080p to complete shite depending on source.

There is a long thread on it, but youtube "add tvmc to firestick" use the tvmc install linked above instead of kodi and it will install a bunch of the channels for you and save lots of time.
