- See also: Apple TV 1 and HOW-TO:Install XBMC on Apple TV 1 (original OS)
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.
Before installing a replacement OS
OpenELEC
- See also: OpenELEC
OpenELEC is a fully-featured but highly optimized Linux OS created solely to run XBMC on a range of HTPC systems including the AppleTV 1. The OpenELEC project provides a more set-to-box like XBMC experience than most full-OS distros; with a controlled Linux environment that aims for simplicity, reliability and performance over the ability to tweak/customise (or break) the underlying OS.
OpenELEC has an excellent guide for installing on Apple TV 1 here: Installing OpenELEC on AppleTV
