TUAW Gallery: iTunes on Apple TV

Have you been looking to stream radio to your Apple TV? Or to download some podcasts directly to it, bypassing your main system? Here's a collection of photos showing what things look like when you disable the normal Apple TV software and run iTunes directly on the Apple TV hardware. There's a lot missing–namely the ability to type text for some reason, and all the iTunes labels–but you can still manage to eek out some features that are otherwise missing in the current Apple TV software.

For the most part, you need to run iTunes over a VNC connection from a normal Macintosh, but once you get going you can stream the audio live from any radio station for an indefinite period of time. Make sure to use the Apple Remote about once every twenty-to-thirty minutes to keep Apple TV from automatically going to sleep.
