If you want to really get more out of your Apple TV, head on over to Apple Core, LLC, and check out their USB flash drive called aTV Flash.  Currently at $59.95 (down from $69.95), this product will add a lot of new features to your Apple TV and doesn’t void the warranty.  However, Cult of Mac points out that this could be harmful to future updates and is considered hacking your system.  That said, here are some of the features from the description:

  • Play most video formats (DivX, Xvid, AVI, WMV, RMVB + more)
  • Play DVD files WITHOUT converting them
  • Sync, organize and watch non-iTunes video files
  • Browse the web with a Safari based web browser
  • Rent & watch Hi-Def movies from Jaman.com
  • Stream media from UPnP(v1) media servers
  • View local weather forecasts
  • View RSS Feeds
  • Enable SSH access

If these seems a little scary to you, they are offering a 100% money back guarantee with free software updates for one year.  If you like to put your Apple products to the test, go check this out and let us know what you think.  Hopefully it doesn’t go haywire on your system!
