Beginner's Crash Course on Extending ATV Storage Capacity

Post by kyne5 »

hi

Hello- I have been contemplating the purchase of an Apple TV for a couple of months now, doing my best to educate myself on different methods of adding additional storage to the ATV. Having never used one before, I'm getting confused as their seems to be several different ways of accomplishing this. Some of the how-to's I'm finding were written years ago, and I'm not sure if they still work, or sometimes I don't know which methods may carry more risk.

I'm not looking for a technical step by step set of instructions here, but I would appreciate it if any one could give me a basic, simple rundown of the different routes I could take to expand the storage capacity of an ATV (that work with the current version of the ATV). Ill be happy to do the nitty-gritty research on my own, I just don't know what terms or software names I should be searching for.

From what I've read so far, it seems as though the preferred route to go is to rig the ATV to retrieve video's from a large, external USB drive. Is this correct?
