You should never lose remote functionality, was this remote paired with the ATV OS before you plugged in the USB drive loaded with the image?

Spoonthumb. Sometimes, just sometimes, the remote doesn't work on mine after it boots. The trick is just to restart it.
I think it's more common if I start up the ATV and then don't use it for a while, so for the sake of being a cliche, "have you tried turning it off and back on again?"

I tried it once but had to pull the power to do it. Can it be done via ssh ?
Have found how to reboot just testing now.

Sorry, but here's another "I'm a noob" post but before that I wanted to thank the many smart and helpful people here. You folks are wonderful.
I started watching threads about crystalHD and the ATV last year but never thought I knew enough about it to try it myself. After many months I still don't know enough to feel confident but yesterday someone listed a 40 gig ATV for $39.99 shipped on eBay and I couldn't resist any longer. I had already purchased a crystalHD card a while back.
I've been trying to work my way through this thread and sometimes I even think I know where to start but then I read a random post saying something like, "there was a post a few pages ago that tells how to do (whatever)..." and I realize I have no idea.
This thread gives me the most hope though, because it was specifically written for folks like me, however, there are many things that can and do go wrong. So, the question...
Is there a "best" (for noobs) way to configure a virgin ATV? Having never owned an ATV before I don't even know if I want/need to preserve the native OS so that question is really an extension of this one.
Obviously, getting all the bells and whistles working is the goal but not if it means going through a long series of failed attempts trying to get it going. If the answer is to load the "minimal" setup then at what point does it make sense to try to add more functionality, and, is there a "noob" how-to for going from the "minimal" to the "full-blown"?
Thanks!

ceraz : restored on mac using dd method on first post. Having read this thread a lot over the last few days i'd guess at getting another usb stick. I used 8gb kinston data traveller 100 g2.
