- Apple TV 1 is "patched" to turn on certain software options required for XBMC to run. The patching is done by using ATV USB Creator that lets you make a patchstick, a bootable USB flash drive which boots the ATV and patches/modifies it. After you patch your Apple TV 1 a new Launcher menu will appear that allows you to download and install XBMC.

- XBMC will not replace the original Apple TV software, it instead works as complement the existing Apple TV software. XBMC is installed onto the Apple TV built-in harddrive but you will still be able you use your Apple TV software as normal. XBMC will only be an extra option that you can launch from the Apple TV's original menu.

- Apple TV 1 runs a slimmed down version of Mac OS X v10.4 and runs XBMC for Mac as a native Mac OS X application.
