OpenELEC is a fully-featured but highly optimized Linux OS created solely to run XBMC on the mk1 AppleTV and other HTPC systems. OpenELEC provides a set-top-box like XBMC experience; with a controlled Linux environment that puts simplicity, reliability and performance ahead of the users ability to tweak/customize (and break) the underlying OS. OpenELEC can be installed to a USB stick or the internal hard drive; allowing you to run an optimised XBMC installation alongside the original Apple OS or replace it completely.


OpenELEC has an excellent guide for installing on mk1 Apple TV's here: '''[http://wiki.openelec.tv/index.php?title=Installing_OpenELEC_on_AppleTV Installing OpenELEC on AppleTV]'''
OSMC can be installed on an Apple TV using easy to use installers for Linux, Mac and Windows here: ''' https://osmc.tv'''. OSMC is officially supporting Apple TV (1st Generation) and CrystalHD hardware acceleration until at least 2017.
