This is the page for the original Apple TV 1 (silver). For the Apple TV 2/3 (black) see: Apple TV (iOS)

Template:Information appliance Apple TV 1 (silver) is no longer available from Apple, but can be purchased from alternative sources (eBay, kijiji, craigslist, etc.).

It is highly recommended that you replace the WiFi card with a Broadcom Crystal HD to enable playback of HD videos.

It is also highly recommended that you consider installing a linux-based OS install with XBMC for various reasons.

Hard drive

Editor note: find/create guide for upgrading the internal HDD on the Apple TV 1.

Apple TV 1 uses a 2.5 inch PATA hard drive that is easily upgradable. It can also be removed completely, having the ATV1 boot directly from a USB drive, in order to make system even more silent and use less heat/energy (results may vary depending on USB drive).
