Okay, so I got my ATV a couple of months ago and right now I have it streaming from my MacPro's iTunes library and synced with my MBP iTunes. Its disapointing the limitations that this things has out of the box, so I started looking for ways to enhance it on forums and websites. Found out about boxee, and other popular hacks. I am not very handy when it comes to modifying codes or stuff like, so I am looking for something easy to install.
I came across this website:
http://www.atvflash.com/
Then sell you (for $50 bucks) an installer to put on a flash drive to then install on the ATV it does look very easy to do. They claim that it will allow you to play diferent video in different formats like DivX, Xvid, AVI, WMV, RMVB and more. Not only that but it comes with software like boxee, couch surfer and a handfull of codecs. You can play DVD files without making self contained movies and more stuff that you can see on the link above.
So my question is.... Is this worth the $50 bucks? Has anyone used this before? if so how do like it?
and also what happens when there's a software update from apple??
Thank you for you input, and if there's something better than this out there please let me know!
