@ajayrockrock I think the blog I originally followed is no long active... I have tried searching for it and no luck. Sorry. You should do some Google searches and you will find the info on the XBMC forums, etc. Best of luck.
1080 video will work correctly after you remove apple TV software totally and installing XBMC only from a patch stick ( there will be no apple tv features ) , i couldn't find the link right now , but with a bit of digging online you could find how to install XBMC only on apple , it will work cause it uses less resources than when running on apple tv native OS
Quick question errorik: Any updates on performances on 1080HD playback?
Also the link to the guide you have in the details, goes to a tweeter page with nothing about a guide on how to perform the install you have... could you maybe update that?
Thanks, much appreciated!

Nice video but honestly a real waste of time. The WDTV plays Just about everything including 1080p out of the box. To invest in apple tv and then invest in another part to be able to play 1080 seems like a waste of time and money. Then again, if you have both go for it. I like to take the easy road.
@missadvice Sorry you felt I was a "bragger"... The purpose of my video was not to demonstrate the install -- my description ALWAYS linked to the guide I used... I did not need to repeat that process... I wanted to provide something that the guide did not, video showing the before and after of the card. Understand, 8 months ago this was very new and I wanted to show the state of the XBMC build in using the CHD card... build to build it changed.
If this card doesn't allow me to properly play 1080p, then it's really not much good to me. Time to find another media player? A real shame, because I like this box and I really like XBMC.
Does anyone know how to get 1080p on ATV working well?
Hi, i just purchased the card, i installed it but i dont know what to do now? i have xbmc and boxee, i need to install something else? can u please help? thanks
im seriously thinking of investing in an atv because of this :) Im just wondering if the boot time is similar to the original xbox and if i can use the original xbox remote with atv too. If you dont mind me asking where did you order the broadcom hd card from? Ebay?
You can see me boot XBMC at about 4:28 in the video... I did edit out about [maybe] 10 seconds of video. It might take around 30 seconds to boot... but once you are in XBMC (or Boxee) you pretty much stay there.
You do not jump in and out.
Additionally, I am not sure if the official builds boot faster than what you see here in the video... I have been using XBMC for over 6 months and Boxee for over a year on my AppleTV and boot times have never been an issue for me. Well worth it.
@errorikdotcom Really well done. You've clarified so many questions :) One thing though.. it would be interesting to know if this card can also be installed on the Apple TV 2G or not..
How can you not like this video. it doesn't get much better than this. What's wrong you people?

ARM processors are primitive.
Only reason they won the mobile war is because it's a British company.

I know your video is a year old, but the link to your guide goes to a random twitter page? Can you post the link without the url-shortener?

thanks for the video. Now that its a year later & newer versions of XBMC are out, are 1080p videos now playing correctly?
