Hi all,

Just to inform that the Apple TV is out in KL! The price is RM1299. Bought one today and sync with my macbook and Airport Extreme N.

Hi,

Managed to install the OS X on the external HDD and boot into the Apple TV. It takes few hours just to make sure it follows the instruction. So far I am able to remote control my Apple TV from my Macbook and will install the plugin into my Apple TV to watch other files. Hope everything will run smoothly tonight. Will update the overall experience once done.

I am able to install all the files required to watch divx and other format. But the hard part now is to transfer file to Apple TV to watch. There is no simple way to transfer the files yet. Hope the USB storage hack quickly materialise. It takes 3 nights to fully modify it. Anyway, it is good way to waste time.

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

No, I did it without open the box. Just use external drive to boot into Apple TV

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.

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.

Yes, it is hard to access itunes US and Aust store recently.
