Hacked AppleTV Question

[sfilingeri]

Hi, Just purchased an tv about a week ago and I am loving it so far. I was wanting to get a patch stick hack like atv flash or atvusb creator.

I have some old dvd transfers from family VHS camcorders I would like to watch on the tv so instead of encoding them and maybe losing some quality(the movies are dear to me) I would like to just play the file (video_TS)

How do people like their hacked tv? does using one of the patchsticks make it buggy? I would hate to be watching a rented itunes movie and it crashes in the middle.

I would love to hear peoples experiences, both good and bad!

I installed the atvflash mod on my TV 2-3 days ago. So far it has worked as advertised and I am pleased with it. The hulu videos on boxee are a little too choppy to watch for any length of time. Not sure if it is an issue with the hardware limitations of the TV or a flash/software issue. I haven't had a chance to mess around with it too much, but overall worth the effort. The patchstick making process and installing the new software on the TV was fairly quick and relatively painless. I would recommend it.
