	What's the problem with Jailbreaking it on PC? There appears to be loads of decent tutorials on Google :boggle:

	an MKV rip (be it 720p or 1080p) is not simply an MKV rip. Theres a 3GB torrent file Here which contains loads of test videos. If you only down the bitrate folder/files, you'll be able to test the MKV files included which have been ripped at different bit rates. edit the torrent has been provided by the popcorn hour community for testing the media streamers during the early days. I'd be interested to know how far the A-TV gets before it struggles. [Edited on 01-09-2011 by Bart]

	By; quote: decent rip 720s (with higher bit rates etc) Do you mean full BluRay transfers (i.e. 20GB and upwards of file size, m2ts IIRC)? As far as I know, they play fine with the graphics acceleration (gpu part of the Ion chip). If not, send me a sample or link to a sample of what you have and I can test it for you.

Better off with a small htpc that has a gpu that can decode x264 as you can then run windows or Linux and have it download and what not as well This is whats holding me back tbh. Around 60% of my stuff is 720p, but then I have alot of decent rip 720s (with higher bit rates etc) which im sure the device wouldnt cope with. Id only use for XBMC, but I might wait to see if the next model gets a better spec.

	Handles it well. 720 only i'm sure i've read. Jailbreak and summit else lets it run 1080. Hardware seems fine. Software is debatable. jailbreak is needed imo, XBMC looks like a nice piece of software. It lets you stream movies from a networked HDD which is what i want it do do. Without jailbreak you can only stream content from a PC with iTunes running.

	How well does it handle HD content, both 720/1080p? I dont the 1st gen was really Naff, but im not sure about the 2nd Gen? Ive been contemplating getting one just to play around with / stream some content to the TV in my kitchen, but was also thinking of waiting for the next refresh for better hardware.

	http://osxdaily.com/2011/01/21/xbmc-for-apple-tv-2/ When in XBMC just add the address of said networked hard drive as a source
Gary	posted on 30th Aug 11 at 13:48
