Hello All, I could not find a place to post suggestions for hacks, but one that I would love to see is a netflix hack that allows you to watch your streaming movies on your apple TV like you can on your 360. I am no hacker, and would love it if someone could figure out how to do it, i don’t think it would be too difficult.

Hum.. too bad invites using the link in this post seem to take weeks. Are you guys at AppleTVHacks able to share some ? I would be an happy guy to receive one 😉

philomath : Boxee is really just a software inside your Apple tv. Available in the atv menu.

@philomath:

It’s the same Apple TV as before, but with an extra menu option for Boxee. You can do all the “authorized” stuff with it that you could before.

Does Boxee replace the entire Apple TV interface or does it simply add Boxee support onto the AppleTV menu so that an AppleTV user can continue to rent movie from Apple and watch Boxee media, including Hulu?

you can definitely use this hack to enable ssh and install xbmc. Once you have ssh enabled, you will not have any problems installing nitotv, which you can use to enable usb if it is not done by xbmc straight away! Hope this makes sense, but I have installed ssh+nito first and then added xbmc later, but the main goal is to enable ssh, after that it is easy.

Hi,
Can anyone answer this question?

Will this hack also enable the USB port for external hard-drive usage? If not, how can I do this.
Thanks

boxee! boxee! boxee!

it’s the saviour of my AppleTV.

in fact, it’s good enough i’d say i’d recruit people to get an appleTV just to run boxee on it, and free themselves from cable. When they added Hulu support, it got to be nearly game over for any other kinda TV 🙂

i see the source code is available. unfortunately i have no mac dev box…there are some features i’d love to see (bookmarking, setting up playlists, tagging and rating) that i wouldn’t mind giving a go at 🙂
