It is difficult to find recent posts ont he subject. I would like to stop paying for cable tv and take advantage of some of the free online content. I contacted my local Mac dealer however they are not willing to give much information about the patches available. Can anyone let me know how that patches have worked for them and what online streaming content you have available using the apple tv.

I can access my external HD through "files" on the apple tv Menu but what I really want to do is make my apple tv use my external HD as it's primary storage. I've seen many articles and blog's on how to do this with older versions like 1.0 and 1.1 but nothing more recent. Everything I've tried so far has not worked. Even though I've got this far the Terminal program and running scripts and code is like Chinese to me. Can someone explain how to do this like I'm a 2 yr. old. Hi,

Unfortunately, its hit and miss with picking the USB stick. Some work and some don't. This is in general not all USB sticks will boot PC's either. Take a look on Google for brands that might work or check out the forums for the ATV patchstick. @Adam – this is really the only symptom of the USB stick not working – it doesn’t boot – even if it gets formatted correctly.
