If you have to hack the Apple TV to get it to do the useful stuff then you might as well pick up an XBOX and mod that. I know that horse gets beaten to death whenever any media center extender is mentioned and a lot of times it's not relevant because you have to hack it and void the warranty to get that use out of it - but if you have to do the same thing with an Apple TV I think the comparison is valid.
I have all of my movies on a "media server" (basically a huge file server) downstairs in XVID format with the full 5.1 audio uncompressed. They're about 2GB each and I can easy stream them over 100Mbit Ethernet up to my living room and watch them. Plus XBMC has a NICE interface for movies, music, and even games. It's kinda nice having my entire movie collection, my entire music collection, my entire digital photo collection, and all SNES/Genesis/NES/GBA/TG16/MAME/etc. games at my fingertips at any time.
