Thanks for this forum. I've spent a lot of time reading lately and it rocks. I've got a brand new Apple TV with firmware 2.4 on it and I'm just trying to figure out the best strategy for getting XBMC (and possibly Boxee) to run. I don't care about any of the stock ATV features. I've been running XBMC on my XBOX for years and after reading forum posts for hours, making patchsticks, and getting XBMC on my ATV, my XBOX actually functions better and faster. This doesn't seem right to me as the ATV has much faster and powerful hardware. So, before I post a bunch of log files and issues I'd really appreciate some advice for what firmware I should try to get on my ATV and which patchstick how-to I should follow, and any other useful links to get me headed towards the optimal XBMC install. Like I said, I've been reading a lot on Awkwardtv and here and just can't quite put all the pieces together. Surprisingly to me, the ATV has a steeper learning curve than the original XBOX did. Thanks for any help you can give.
Useful information:
Current ATV Firmware: 2.4
My machine: Macbook Pro (Leopard), or Macbook with Tiger (whichever is most desirable to use)
Most important XBMC Features to me: Streaming music, pictures, .iso movies from a NAS drive
Frustration Level: Defcon 2
