Apple TV hacks have recently provided a software patch that allows external storage devices to be connected via a USB port to the stylish set top box - with increased storage paving the way for high-definition.
The newly released patch is for version 1.0 of Apple TV software – so it won’t work on version 1.1.
There’s no official support for the hacks but forums at Apple TV hacks could be useful for anyone interested in installing or uninstalling the patch.
Apple’s TV system already features a 40GB internal hard drive, which can store up to 50 hours of video, 9000 songs, 25,000 photos and is capable of delivering 720p high-definition output.
Apple has also announced a more expensive version that features a 160GB hard drive, enough to store 200 hours of video, 36,000 songs or 250,000 photos.
