UPDATE: The aTV hack is now available as a download, ready for use with any USB stick. Find out more here.
We have to hand it to modders (naughty as some of them are). They seem to be able to crack anything. The same goes for those behind unofficial products, like this clever USB stick for Apple TV. Plug it in, and it automatically mods the telly companion to perform all sorts of new tricks!
Rather than being tied with a ball and chain, the $59.95 aTV flash drive frees your Apple TV to play other formats such as DIVX, Xvid, AVI and WMV.
It doesn’t stop there. It lets you play DVD files without bothersome converting, and lets you sit back and watch non-iTunes videos too
Surfers will be able to browse the web with Safari from the comfort of their couch, and stream media from other servers around the home. The modders even included an RSS reader, so the Apple TV can pull up the latest headlines from the web.
All without voiding your Apple TV warranty. Nice.
Out now | $59
