Re: AppleTV has arrived

They have FireFox running on it now.

I wonder if I should tell them that the "AppleTOCWatchdog.kext" file is not in the standard Tiger install and is probably what is killing any attempt to launch the keyboard USB driver?

So here's the funny thing. All day I couldn't get much stuff copied over to my Apple TV. Now that it's nighttime it's been syncing continuously for the past half hour or so. Wonder if it's got something to do with the number of active wireless channels at a given time? Who knows, but it's working for now!

I got the first season of Battlestar Galactica and it seems the picture is oversized for my HDTV. So the credits are cut off on the bottom.

Looks like a case of stretching someway.

Were you streaming to it? It pauses the syncing if it is streaming.

 The wireless ability on these things are horrible, I hope that can be fixed with some software update. There are tons of reports on Apple's support site with issues just like mine, wireless will go in and out, if it connects at all. One post had a user create some type of foil antennae extender.

But as Johnny pointed out, it does stop syncing when you use the AppleTV

Looks like the USB port fell to hacking.

So once someone finds a cheap way to turn one of those video ports into something that will talk DVI or VGA, it's a $300 Mac.

That's what I'm thinking. Open the floodgates for the switchers. $299 plus cheap USB KB and mouse, and $129 or less for the OS. Isn't there a cheap HDMI->DVI or other adapter?

Kinda pointless with no ram upgradeability. How much does it have anyway?

Edit: 256mb it seems, with 64mb video ram.

But anyway, I'm more interested in the hacks that make it work the other way around, running the AppleTV app on a regular Mac. I have a Mac mini hooked up to the HDTV, and it would be a nice front row replacement.

You can already buy an HDMI -> DVD-D cable can you not?
