Can anyone point me to where I can get info for a newbie on setting up XBMC on the ATV 2.3.1?

I just installed XBMC using atvusb-creator and can't make any sense of the 'Settings' options. I've searched the web and the XBMC.org site and can't find ATV specific info on setting up access to files on remote machines.

I've an iMac and Mac Pro on my network, my iMac has an external Firewire drive which holds my EyeTV library (which I'd love to play without having to transcode). I also have a cheapo NAS and wondered if that could be used with the ATV now too.

Anyway, for starters I'd just like to be able to access video files on my Macs, particularly those which don't normally play on the vanilla ATV.

On a slightly different issue, if I install Couch Surfer will I be able to use the iPhone Apple Remote app to input text on the iPhone keyboard?

Thanks.
