Don't be a dumbass, read the etc and etc at the end. I was also making a reference to
a post by MacDaNife, who was going to America in May or something. Plus Ebay, and friends overseas, would also constitute as another hurdle to jump over just to be able to purchase
from the iTMS store. Not everyone can make purchases from iTMS and charge it straight to his/
her credit card.

So move along now, driveby.

well then, i was just pointing out to you that not only MacDaNife that uses iTMS in Malaysia, smartass.

Hi all,

After few days of modifying the Apple TV, now the machine is able to do the following

1. Play all kind of video files except the common like RMVB
2. Automatically mount the drive on my mac
3. Able to display all contents on my external drives
4. Able to browse all media files and stream thru Apple TV

However, it needs some time to modifying the machine, kinda time consuming. Just to inform you all. Thanks

Anyway just my 2 cents, what the heck is happening to the world these days? Over here there are TV tuners for computers/Macs, and on the other side Apple TV, which makes it possible to view whats on your computer/Mac on your TV, and some people actually ended up with BOTH!

Think about it, watch TV on your computer/Mac, then watch computer stuff on your TV. What the heck?

No, it wont void your warranty unless you upgrade your HDD in Apple TV

I am using the external USB drive to mod the internal Apple TV OS so it can auto mount my Media drive and play from there. It plays most of the online video files.

Hmm. LCD tvs are bigger mah. And you can then connect it all to your 5.1 surround sound.

And yes they are greedy.. tongue.gif I just use my Macbook and hook it to my tv.

So far my Apple TV, it is great. It fits my requirement of home entertainment center. On 24 hours, silent operation, sync without any glitches, play most of the files, look cool but the only down side is require modification after you buy the new apple tv.

Hi guys,

About the Apple TV, how do I modify it to play all other codecs?

Say after I modified it, do I still get to sync wirelessly with my iMac?
