Atv1, or get new Atv2 ?
#1
Hi there,

Have an atv1 nicely running dharma right now, just using it for sd type stuff over wifi just now.

Heading to the us at the weekend and was considering getting a new atv2 and putting Eden on it.

But, I'm not sure what benefit this will give me over the existing atv1 ?

Any advice ?

Thanks,
Roy

I have both. The ATV2 is a huge improvement for HD mkv content. Unless you need storage on the unit itself, there is no comparison. My ATV1 is now just a airplay box for my office.

Search the forums for ATV1 vs ATV2 or similar terms. We've had a few threads about it that lay out the pros and cons pretty nicely.

I got 1 atv2 and 5 atv1's now... ATV1 with CHD is definitely a more powerful machine.
Both are about the same in price
Apple tv1 with chd requires you to open the unit to install crystal card and remove wireless network card

And if you go put Linux on your Apple tv1, it runs even smoother
*I keep my ATV2 in my car - to show of at other peoples houses or to the bar

This [post=843683]post[/post], although directly related to ATV 1v2,
should give you good start.
