Anyone own an Apple TV? Anyone hack it so that an external HD is your storage drive?
I'm thinking about setting an external to be my storage hub and use the Apple TV as my entertainment hub. Only if this is possible though.

Haven't done anything with mine, but this looks like a good reference site: http://appletvsource.com

ribit - do you think it's worth having Apple TV? Do you use it much? What for? I've never really seen the point...

I didn't see the point if it was for iTunes exclusively, but if I can run this patch and get it to be an entertainment hub it would be a good thing. I could watch all my DVDs from my couch.

Don't use it that much, bought it just to try out (hmm thats why I'm poor).. Its not bad as yet another way of browsing my iTunes library from across the room with the remote... It turns my TV into another set of speakers if I'm on my laptop... easy way to show photos... maybe I'll get one for my mother so I can send her photos in a way that's easy for her to access..

Not much available here in UK on the TV side though...

I love mine. I stream movies from my iMac upstairs. Use Visual Hub to convert almost anything to a readable format.
Plus with the new iPhone update you can control your Apple TV from your phone which is just awesome. The remote that comes with it really sucks sometimes.
