USB drive with aTV USB creator

[jteddy]

I am currently running aTV v.2.2 and have installed aTV USB Creator.
I would like to use my AppleTV's USB port to plug in my 1tb external drive which holds my movies.
I followed the the guide on iClarified for to Install USB on a Take 2 AppleTV. After rebooting my AppleTV I could not scroll through the menus.
The problem was easily fixed with a factory restore.

Has anyone on this forum have USB drive support along side aTV USB creator working on their Apple TV?
NOTE: I have just realized that my USB drive is formatted using NTFS. I will reformat and try mounting it again.

Thanks in advance.

Try 2

After reading various posts about enabling USB support on the AppleTV, I read that AppleTV will support an NTFS file system. (perhaps read only).
This is due to the drivers being the same on the AppleTV as OS X.

I formatted my USB using a Mac OS X partition, and still my USB drive was not detected.

Has anyone else tried enabling the USB port after using the aTV USB creator?

The problem is that iclarified instructions are known to be inprecise.

Solved

I installed NitoTV and ran the Smart Installer, and now have USB drive access.
