Apple TV + CrystalHD still worth it?

Question 
Hi guys,
I have a Apple TV1 from when I first got in to things and now it's sitting not doing much.

I was looking at a Broadcom Hardware Decoder BCM970015 - PCIe Mini Card from Logicsuply, most of my library is h.264 in MKV or MP4/M4V.

Is it worth buying a CrystalHD card to use it as another machine?


Cheers, Thomas.

I got an old AppleTV off my brother and put the crystal card in it. Pretty good a as cheap XBMC machine. Works miles better than ATV2 imo (minus WiFi).

cool.
Think I'll get one ordered over the weekend, it will be handy for taking to peoples houses too, doesn't matter about the wireless as I'll be streaming from ethernet.

Cheers for your reply. Smile

I set mine up as portable box for taking places. I put a 250GB drive in too. I won't have to watch rubbish when on holiday.
I plan on getting a cheap HDMI-composite/s-video converter so it will work on any TV too.
