Make sure your not running the defaults command as sudo. It must be run by the frontrow user so that the correct plist is edited.

I made a full new set-up of my ATV (i.e., upgraded to Firmware 3.0.2, patchtsicked, installed Nito). Now it works by entering the two statements above and I get it working.
Only issue remaining is that I cannot download skins from the "SVN repository" as it shows them "incompatible". Downloaded them manually and copied them through SSH. All working now. Leave a "bug report" on the SVN installer in the respective thread.

I too have updated one of my @TVs to 3.0.2 - but I am witnessing much more frame drops than my other @TV that is still under 3.0.1.
Does anyone know if there are issues with 3.0.2?
I am running svn 28256.

I just purchased an Atv with the express plan of hacking it, install the Crystal HD card, and using it to watch 1080p HD movies.
I was going to install ATV Flash, which appears to have the Crystal support as part of its package. It also includes XBMC which I plan to use as my central media player with the new card.
Here's what I don't know: How easy is it to have the Atv work wirelessly once the wireless card is out? I understand I'll need a network bridge, which I can handle, and network it with my airport express. If I do that, will the Atv work wirelessly and will I still be able to access it with cyberduck?
I truly appreciate the great posts on this board as it sealed the deal on Atv but before I void my warrantee by cracking it open, it would be helpful to know that I'm not really losing any functionality.
Thank you.

Hi Guys,
Thanks a lot for the great work on this, I've just installed my Broadcom HD card into the ATV and it either is not recognising it or failing at some other point, I have:
bash-2.05b# kextstat | grep crystalhd
65 0 0x2fcfb000 0xb000 0xa000 com.broadcom.crystalhd.driver (0.9.26) <5 4 3 2>
But:
bash-2.05b# dmesg | grep -i crystal
Displays nothing?
I followed the instructions to install the latest SVN(r28923) and drivers(r26).
The relevant XBMC lines seem to be:
bash-2.05b# grep -i crystal /Users/frontrow/Library/Logs/xbmc.log
21:32:35 T:2684407808 M: 34086912 DEBUG: SECTION:LoadDLL(libcrystalhd.dylib)
21:32:35 T:2684407808 M: 34054144 DEBUG: Loading: libcrystalhd.dylib
21:32:35 T:2684407808 M: 33964032 ERROR: CrystalHD: device open failed
21:32:35 T:2684407808 M: 33964032 INFO: CrystalHD: broadcom crystal hd not found
21:33:05 T:2684407808 M: 20000768 DEBUG: SECTION:UnloadDelayed(DLL: libcrystalhd.dylib)
21:33:05 T:2684407808 M: 20008960 DEBUG: Unloading: libcrystalhd.dylib
21:35:22 T:2684407808 M: 23715840 INFO: CrystalHD: device closed
So it appears as though the ATV isn't loading the drivers either because it cannot see the card or possibly it's a dud card?
I'm using ATV version 3.0.2.
Any help or another log file I should be looking at would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like it's Logic Supply for me then.
It was an eBay one.
It does look suspiciously like it could be a dud from my investigations.

although plenty of people (me included) seem to be having zero issues with ebay cards. I hope you figure it out though!
