Want to turn AppleTV into a video streaming device, then you have to see Boxee. "How to: Max Out AppleTV's Potential With Boxee". This is exactly what I was looking for and considering purchasing a Mac Mini for the family room but the combination of AppleTV and Boxee makes more sense. I need to continue watching this to see how it evolves. This is what AppleTV should have been all along.
Boxee is a freeware cross-platform media center software with social networking features that is a fork of the open source XBMC media center software with some custom and closed source proprietary additions. Marketed as the first ever "'Social Media Center", Boxee enables its users to view, rate and recommend content to their friends through many social networking features. Boxee is still under development and is currently only available as Alpha releases for Mac OS X (Leopard and Tiger), Apple TV, and Linux for computers with Intel processors, with the first Alpha made available on the 16th of June 2008. A Microsoft Windows Alpha version of Boxee was released in January 2009, but is currently available only by private invitation.
