I actually sat down to use my ATV with CrystalHD card (Ubuntu karmic 9.10 with XBMC SVN:28256MS... I build my own) to watch a movie with the wife just the other night. We tend to use the Revo on the TV downstairs, but had some guests staying at the house consuming that one.
We watched a 2~ hour 1080p movie (Adventureland) which clocks in at just under 15gigs with an overall bitrate of 18.2mbps. It would have the occasional SetDropState 0, 1, 0, 1 which was accompanied by rapid hard drive noise... maybe every 15-45 minutes. It'd be easily fixed with a simple pause/resume.
The files are stored on my linux server using NFS.
Figured I'd share a success story. The setup is amazing and many thanks go out to Davilla for his fantastic work. I'd have never thought my ATV would be so useful again.
