Well the Apple bug has really got me now, started with a 30GB iPod, got rid of the PC. Now I have a Apple TV on it's way to me. Just been looking at the Awkward TV site, has anyone here followed items on there to get Mac OS and DIVX/XVID working on their ATV? Any pointers or any other solutions?
Cheers
Tim.

Also is it worth adding DIVX/XVID (Perian) or do Apple push out updates to block such tweaks?

Well my ATV is here and I like what I see, anyone here used the patchstick method to install Divx\Xvids codecs?

Never bought Quicktime Pro, since there are excellent free tools available. |

While I do use QT Pro, I use FFmepgX to convert my .avi's to something ATV/iTunes compatible. Neither of them is free. QT Pro does an excellent job at converting editing but, it's a bit slow. FFmpegX is not much faster but, a whole lot more versatile.
My 2 cents...

I use Handbrake to rip DVD or image files to MP4, so I can view them on my Apple TV. I have also purchased Visual Hub to convert AVI or other types of video files to MP4.
