A modified kernel allows the AppleTV to run a normal build of Mac OS X 10.4.8. I shot a video a few minutes after getting this working for the first time.

  • Interesting, nicely done. Could you make a video where you run a couple of basic programs and maybe show boot. Just to see how it performs at normal use.

  • I just posted a new video showing that we can now boot from external USB Drive, so there's no need to open your aTV. I'm going to work on a video like you suggest next. Any particular applications you'd like to see?

  • People are so gullible around April 1

  • It's real, and pretty easy to reproduce.

  • So have you tried copying the AppleTV app to the work station drive so you don't lose functionality? I imagine the embedded OS it came with was OS X as well? Do you have any other documentation? I'd like to mess with this.

  • The best documentation is on the AwkwardTV wiki...google that.

    i dont even want lik any apps on it maybe like BASIC stuff ,... i do need xtools ( iphone sdk ) being im a iphone developer lol but yeah LIVE CD

  • What's with the dollar signs eh? Appl€ sounds good too. ;)

  • torrentz dot com, search for 720p or whatever.

  • This question is a little irrelevant to this vid, but umm lol. Where do u guyz find your HD content on the internet, is there a site that streams HD content or something? Cause if there is I'm dying to know!

  • If they just predate but never made it for the market. that's equal to nothing. Nothing to compare with Apple TV ? That's loser.

  • Media Extender predates this piece of shit.

    LURK MOAR.

  • M$ got jealous, they want to make something similar as AppleTV called Media Extender.
