It didn't even dawn on me that the update wasn't currently available. I'll keep watching as I'd like to pick one up, but not if I can't get some of these great hacks to work. Thanks.

As far as the new ones, probably not until we can get our hands on the update. Richard, I am pretty sure that we’ll be redoing a lot of the existing hacks once the software update is here.

This is not fair! The price of appletv in the uk has remained the same. As a result it now costs nearly 2x as much as in the US (200 pounds - 400$). I assume apple is shedding some profit in the US on the sale of the appletv, in hope that it will crawl some money back on the rentals/movie sales? Not so in the UK, where they only intend to launch rentals later in the year! Hey! This is not fair! The price of appletv in the uk has remained the same.

I am new to the scene and I was just interested in what the community feel is for taking the new software on. Thanks.

I don't need to rent movies, or by songs on my appletv, but I do like nitotv, etc. But the big question is – Can I stop appletv from upgrading!?

However, as someone who soft modded his (i.e. didn't open the case), I'm hoping that someone who's opened it will backup the hard disk, upgrade, then let us know how it went and if it's replaced the restore image.
