The first generation AppleTV has a 1GHz Pentium M.  It won't have enough 
power for playback of anything better than standard definition.  If you 
load Linux on instead, you can try using a CrystalHD decoder in place of 
the wireless card.  Beyond that, with only 256MB of memory, depending on 
the display resolution, mythfrontend will likely start swapping and may 
be unusably slow.
