MacNean,<br><br>Are you running the 0.24 frontend on top of the AppleTV OS or on Linux?<br><br>I've got Mythbuntu running with 0.24 on the AppleTV hardware and it works pretty well. I only record SD content anyways (was given a 1080i HDTV CRT over the weekend, we'll have to see how that works).<br>
<br>If your still running AppleTV OS did you use a pre-compiled binary or did you compile it yourself?<br><br>I would very much like to run 0.24 frontend on top of the AppleTV OS... at least too see.<br><br>Not sure about the Crystal HD chip... I'd like to try that. I think from what I saw you'd need to run linux instead of mac os frontend to take advantage of it though.<br>

</div>I have a 1st gen apple tv but I use it as an XBMC frontend and there<br>
are addons for mythtv as well. It's pretty decent with the CrystalHD<br>
card.<br>

The menu's are slow but playback is fine of SD content (mkv files ripped at constant 16, TV shows recorded with pvr-250/500, etc.).</div>
