Intresting very, tho like to see if anyone got windaz, i know groan going on it yet.
Tho it does make u wounder when u can bild a pc with:
512mb memory/p4 3ghz 64bit/160gb sataII hard disk/PCI-E video card with component and dvi connectors for just over £200.
Ok its like compairing an apple and orange, hehe no pun intended, but still stands its a good price for a silent media center.

Who cried foul?!?
Apple hasn't commented yet. I really doubt Apple is disabling any boxes... yet.

Modded Xbox = cheaper and more versatile... indeed. If I had no idea I could mod my old xbox, then this Apple TV thing would be kinda cool.

I am certain they knew and known the potential of people hacking their product like everything else. Almost all technology is hackable it only depends on how hackable it is.

It isn't as easy as you think
Apple tv hard drives contain dual partition formats one partition stores the os and the apple tv application and another partition stores movies so if you are unable to reproduce the partition correctly it will crash minus i can run apple tv on a external hard drive using a mac mini instead of apple tv but i would rather have the apple tv because i support apple more then stealing from them

help needed this is my first time to look for info on this forum.
I'm stuck, i have recently added a extreme airport card to my emac 2002
I have put it into the slot, and that is as far as it goes, I don't know what to do now, the card came on its own without instructions, I located instructions on a mac site. Does it need a driver? all help welcome.
I bought it on ebay.
