was tempted at first but (at the time at least) very little of the good stuff was going to be supported here. I stream everything via PS3 now.
ust trying to setup itunes to share my music across the network. It's checking the files now so should know in an hour or so how that's working out. Hopefully i'll be able to share all the music around the gaf between the ATV and ipod/phone
Got in and jailbroke it last week. Installed XBMC and a few of it's plugins. Haven't been able to get Hulu working yet but i'm hopeful. Couldn't get and external working with the router as a NAS device with the ATV so setup an old G5 as a media server. So far XBMC has played every format i've tried.

Yup, fella at work went to France recently and just plugged it in and away he went.Here, suppose I bring my Apple TV to Spain on holidays with me. There's a TV in the house there and there is wifi. I should be able to just plug it in and use it as I do at home, right? i.e. netflix movies for the kids ...... stream stuff from my iphone to it etc? Or am I missing something?

I dont understand why you would by Apple TV thing. I heard its quite restrictive until its "Jailbroken"... What Pete (i have the previous model without Wifi card) has got will do everything that apple tv will do and more!!!
It won't play .mp4 files unless they contain avc video or something.

Just set up ps3mediaserver on a computer on her network (if she has one)
only problem with the WDTV box is the interface is a bit slow to get around
True but its a small price to pay... I've used the Apple TV once babysitting for the sister and i watched two movies and both were jumpy at times. Never got that on my WD box
