New to Apple TV 1st gen

[markeymark]

hi folks,

Ive taking the plunge and bought Apple Tv 1st gen 140gb from ebay,thought I got a great deal at £65!

Well impressed so far, updated from 2.2 to 3.0.2 firmware

Basically looking at options of making better use of this machine...lol

Is it worth buying atvflash or patchstick.ca?

Ive seen there is free ones out there, wanting to use xbmc and boxee also netflix and hulu etc

Also would be interested if I could connect my external 1tb usb hard drive which has my music and movies stored on it

All help appreciated

Only used ATVFlash...was pretty darn good and lets you plug your external into the ATV1, so no need for a machine running iTunes.
