Decoding h.264 @ 1080p is way too much for the cpu in the AppleTV to handle. A MacMini is much better for 1080p h.264 video content.

I've been looking into getting a media PC to upgrade my xbox (running xbmc of course) for ages but the cost was prohibative and i hated windows media centre. I resolved to wait until xbmc was available as a complete linux distrobution until reading this. One question, will xbmc running on a 40gb Apple TV be capable of playing h.264 @ 1080p?

Your timing couldn't be better! I was very disappointed when the ATv 2.2 update came and wiped out all my ATv files functionality, but XBMC made the whole thing better than before the update. Again, major thanks. Thank you very much for this! Your timing couldn’t be better!

After having used various "hacked" patchsticks that were dodgy to say the least; Davilla comes through with this wonderstick. Thank you for all your work. This is how a patchstick should work. I am running it on FW 2.2, using XBMC, I haven't tried Boxee as I don't have a login yet. Anyway, thanks for the great work. Great stuff.

Can you add this function in the USBcreator. Hope to only have XBMC or a changeable server site in the NEW AppleTV. Can you add this function in the USBcreator.

But it's much slower than it was with FW 2.1 Can't wait for the next version. Paul, I just installed Boxee (which I think is based on XBMC) with FW 2.2 and it kind of works.
