The original silver Apple TV is a low-powered x86 Intel computer. Originally, XBMC was installable on the original ATV OS (modified OS X), but now requires a installation of a Linux-based OS to unlock the full potential of the unit. When also combined with the Broadcom Crystal HD card, the older ATV 1 is actually more powerful than the newer ATV 2 and 3, which are based on ARM processors. ATV 1 + XBMC + BCHD can decode virtually any video and output a true 1080P signal, and is far more powerful than a non-modified ATV.
Availability
Apple TV 1 (silver) is no longer available from Apple, but can be purchased from alternative sources (eBay, kijiji, craigslist, etc.). If a unit is found in good condition, it makes for an excellent XBMC HTPC. If found for a good price (common as people are updating to the newer ATV2/3), such as $80-ish USD, it's also an excellent deal.
Installing XBMC
- Archive:Install XBMC on Apple TV 1 (Linux) - Replaces the OS for better performance, and is also required for using versions of XBMC after v11.
HD video decoding
It is highly recommended that you replace the WiFi card with a Broadcom Crystal HD to enable playback of HD videos. WiFi can be replaced using a USB dongle.
Frequently Asked Questions
