(the Apple TV in situ, along with DVD player, cable box and external speakers.)
This past July, I got a 1st gen Apple TV from eBay. Works fine, as Apple defines "fine". It's been upgraded with the current OS revision/ATV firmware. It's also been hacked with the latest "upgrade" software/firmware, and has XBMC (XBox Media Center) installed.
Having trouble getting the XBMC to "see" the drive/folder where all my video files are kept, as well as the iTunes music library.
Apparently, I need the equivalent of "Hacking the ATV for Dummies".
That said, the ATV, using the ATV software, works well enough to play video and audio via the LCD TV. The Boston Acoustics computer speakers/subwoofer are a huge improvement over the stock built in TV speakers.
