Try the DVI (HDMI to DVI cable).  If the HDCP in AppleTV is preventing you from seeing anything on the Dell, then try the component video cables.  I am pretty sure it will work since component does not have any built-in DRM (like HDMI).  You should setup the AppleTV to output 1080i.  That is 1920x1080i, the Dell is 1920x1200.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Siva]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 27th 2007 4:15PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Apple TV hacked for use with MacBooks and USB drives]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/27/apple-tv-hacked-for-use-with-macbooks-and-usb-drives/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/27/apple-tv-hacked-for-use-with-macbooks-and-usb-drives/</guid><description><![CDATA[Useless.  Why not just hook the external HDD to the MacBook and view the content from there?  Sure it's fun to tinker around, but why not contribute that time and effort to developing a better open media center platform that works with multiple OSes?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[KC]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 27th 2007 1:02PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Apple TV hacked for use with MacBooks and USB drives]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/27/apple-tv-hacked-for-use-with-macbooks-and-usb-drives/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/27/apple-tv-hacked-for-use-with-macbooks-and-usb-drives/</guid><description><![CDATA[If they modify it a little bit more they will end up with a Mac mini...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Argot]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 27th 2007 1:11PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Apple TV hacked for use with MacBooks and USB drives]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/27/apple-tv-hacked-for-use-with-macbooks-and-usb-drives/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/27/apple-tv-hacked-for-use-with-macbooks-and-usb-drives/</guid><description><![CDATA[It's easy to modify something so simple and (dare I say) useless.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kev50027]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 27th 2007 1:18PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Apple TV hacked for use with MacBooks and USB drives]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/27/apple-tv-hacked-for-use-with-macbooks-and-usb-drives/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/27/apple-tv-hacked-for-use-with-macbooks-and-usb-drives/</guid><description><![CDATA[EXTRA!

This is the only reason I could think of that would make running Apple TV on a Macbook cool.<br><br>I actually just got a Macbook to use as a home theatre pc and i played my first video last night.  I had to copy the divx movie over to my Macbooks desktop as playing it over the network resulted in studdering.  I tried a few formats but so far the only stuff i can play over the network is low res or AVC encoded stuff.  I need to experiment more, but a regular ol divx movie gives studder, so another solution is pretty much needed.<br><br>So, Does the Apple TV do some kind of fancy transcoding over the network to optimize playback?  Also what is the difference of Apple TV vs "Front Row" on a Macbook?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bill Jobs]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 27th 2007 3:41PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Apple TV hacked for use with MacBooks and USB drives]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/27/apple-tv-hacked-for-use-with-macbooks-and-usb-drives/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/27/apple-tv-hacked-for-use-with-macbooks-and-usb-drives/</guid><description><![CDATA[Doesnt the USB boot effectively allow you to expand the disk capacity without opening up the box?
