you can use the open source project castcluster (http://castcluster.blogspot.com/) to encode HD video from bit torrent for happy apple tv viewing... it takes a little while, but it picks up new videos from directories on your local disk and publishes them as local rss feeds.
podcasts man... podcasts... I got an apple TV and I'm not planning on watching much itunes content on it... but I have gigs and gigs of podcasts... and they look just fine... and CastCluster lets me push (and convert) youtube videos and videos from my local drive... soon, google video as well...
$300 was a good price, it's a great bit of hardware that does exactly what I need it to... although, a few more codecs would be nice... NO MPEG1+2?!?!
"I have a MacBook Pro and an Xbox 360 and I would like to get a 20- to 24-inch display that will support both devices. The speakers should be inbuilt, or there should be an aux out on the display to hook up external speakers. Help! Please!"
