Got a friend with a Windows box or a Windows CD and key laying around that you could use to install Windows on a Virtual Box VM?

Otherwise, you can use the existing Mac atv-usbcreator build to create your patchstick and then install ssh, bintools, etc. here: http://atvusb-creator.googlecode.com/files/atvusb-creator-1.0.b10.zip

You just need to use a hack, once you have ssh, to get the Launcher to show on the 3.0.1 ATV firmware.

You just need to enter the lines below, one at a time, from your ssh session into your ATV:
( A Description of that is happening in the Box Below... Open Terminal
The first line presents the username and ATV hostname. The second line is the password. The next 3 lines are the code you need for getting the Launcher to show. The last line reboots the ATV and once that's done, you should see the Launcher.)

ssh frontrow@AppleTV.local

frontrow

wget http://atv-xbmc-launcher.googlecode.com/files/Launcher-3.2.2-debug.run

chmod +x Launcher-3.2.2-debug.run

./Launcher-3.2.2-debug.run

sudo reboot now

Once you have the Launcher installed, you can download the latest Launcher, XBMC, and Boxee (Alpha) from the Launcher Menu. If you want the latest Beta, I direct you to this thread:

So to make sure I understand this correctly.
If I have a brand new ATV and use the old atvusb-creator for the Mac with the latest firmware, after I install this the ATV will have the SSH capability, but will need to load the latest version of LAUNCHER 3.2.2 from my Mac's terminal.

After this is done, I can go to the "launcher" on the ATV screen to download Boxee and XBMC!

Correct?

TIA

I did the following processs

1. Download the ATVUSB-Creator from http://code.google.com/p/atvusb-creator/
2. Download the disk image of AppleTV 2.4 from http://mesu.apple.com/data/OS/061-62...4-5660-029.dmg
3. Insert a "bootable" USB drive into your Pc/Mac
4. Run the ATVUSB-Creator
5. Click on Choose a DMG and point it to the downloaded disk image(point number 2 http://mesu.apple.com/data/OS/061-62...4-5660-029.dmg)
6. Click on Create Using
7. Remove the USB drive and plug it into your Apple TV
8. Power on your Apple TV and the patchstick will run the ATV bootloader
9. After the bootloader finishes, remove it and restart your Apple TV


(when i got to this point i restarted apple tv but did not find the boxee on the menu)

i read the last lines on the bootloader and it said "
*If you received no errors above, then you can plug in your Apple TV, wait 3 minutes, then open terminal and type : ssh frontrow@appletv.local

*when prompted for a password, enter: frontrow

i followed the instructions on mac terminal but i did not accept my password........ now im not saying that this is why boxee wont appear but it was worth a try


-=---------------------------------------------------------------------------
10. It now has options for Boxee / XBMC on the main menu
11. Click on Boxee, then select update launcher and then update Boxee alpha
12. Once boxee is done installing, restart your Apple TV
13. Click "Boxee"
