I'm going to dig up this thread to restart this conversation on another level.
There are two things that have reignited my interest in the AppleTV2. One was our recent conversation regarding ALMS only being available online on ESPN3.com,
Real Sports Car racing on TV---bye bye. The other was the successful port of XMBC to the AppleTV2,
XBMC . XBMC happens to have a plugin for ESPN3. I am really interested in possibly using this combo for ALMS races, as well as streaming other online content to my TV.
I'm going to try some experiments by building a Linux-based XMBC setup with some stuff I have lying around. That way I'll know if the basic functionality of what I want is there before I lay out $100.
But, my question is, "Anyone here running XBMC on their AppleTV2?"
