can it play divx movies?
- PIZZA0
not unless you convert them to H.264 and stream it from your mac
Look into something like a WDTV instead

Cheap, you just plug a USB hard drive into it and it'll play H.264, DIVX, MKV, etc even has support for subtitles, youtube, streaming over the network.

its great but has a resolution limit of 720x576, HD would be a lot better.So go for something like Pizza suggested -

also apple tv produces completely fucked up colours on some tv brands, it might be worth you looking into that.

cant hook up an external to it, cant play games on it, pffff whats the point. better off with a gaming console, you can get neflix and all that crap on them now.

This software will make the Apple TV do pretty much everything (Playback most video formats, surf the web with a browser, RSS, etc). Right now it's only for the older Apple TV model but a version for the new one is coming out soon...
- Sounds good, but the software alone is half the price of the Apple TV. Toss in a good HDMI cable and the setup is $200.doublespaced

I've read that you can convert your divx using Quicktime Pro and/or Handbrake?
