Can one of you peeps please send me a boxee invite. I think that is what I need to love my apple TV again ....

Thanks

Not quite the same application, but have you seen atvflash? http://www.atvflash.com/product_info.php?products_id=27 

It's software patch for AppleTV that allows it to play just about any format, plus a few other nice features. I routinely play AVI files on my AppleTV, and native DVD files (from video_ts folder) on a Beovision MX7000 (4:3 screen). Letterboxing is done automatically and this neatly solves the stretched image problem (ATV does not officially suppoort 4:3 TVs). That's something that iTunes/MP4 cannot do. Not a problem if you've got a widescreen TV, but for everyone else, atvflash makes the AppleTV perfectly usable on an older TV.

The kicker with Boxee is that it adds Hulu.com. This is only available in US but it streams full feature movies and television show with few commercial interruptions for free.

 Also, I want to access my movies on my NAS, it also seem to have some auto library management functions. If I understand correct it will search for the trailer for your movie and reviews and such. 

 I gave in and ordered an Ipod Touch, so I can control my Apple TV through 2way. I havent really sued it in ages to be honest and this may bring it back to life.
