Unfortunatley its the one below the iPhone remote compatible range. :( And lets be honest I just want to show off with cover flow movies controlled by my iPhone :o:lol: [Edited on 01-06-2011 by A2H GO] | |

Any links for the modding of AppleTV1 to stuff a new GFX card in there and how to stick XBMC on it? | |

An Apple TV 1 can have the graphics card replaced to get it to run 1080p and it'll do XBMC. If you're planning on modding it, that might be the better choice. | |

I've never watched anything on my Tv in 1080p (apart from xbox) and don't DL 1080p content currently so can't see that being much of an issue. | |

People will say they're shit as they don't do 1080p, but in reality people will stream less than 1080p more often. I'd have one if I had a use, jb and install | |

Is the only thing missing from my collection. Can get them for £70 on eBay now and the Samsung TV suite I currently use for streaming is terrible. |
