Comments on: AppleTV 2.3.1 Released with Network Test http://gigaom.com/2009/02/25/appletv-231-released-with-network-test/ Thu, 20 Jun 2013 12:14:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Thomas Rasmussen http://gigaom.com/2009/02/25/appletv-231-released-with-network-test/#comment-340748 Sat, 28 Feb 2009 21:17:11 +0000 http://theappleblog.com/?p=18056#comment-340748 I have just upgraded my ATV to 2.3.1, and as other people have experienced, my USB drive stopped working, or at least wouldn’t mount the drive. I tried almost everything but it just wouldn’t work, so something must have changed from 2.3 to 2.3.1. Running system_profiler shows that the drive is actually listed on the USB bus, so the ATV does know about it, but it wont create the device so it can be mounted.

I had to revert to 2.3 (followed these instructions: http://wiki.awkwardtv.org/wiki/AppleTV_OS_2.3.1#Important_Notes

and now my USB drive is mountable again… it seems as though many people have this problem :-(

I’m sure someone will figure out how to get USB working under 2.3.1 eventually, but after having a 1TB AppleTV, I can’t go back to 160GB.

I wouldn’t worry about it too much.

And where do you get $50 from? boxee is free.

Is Boxee worth the $50.00? I get a lot of Divx and AVI files and convert them to m4v format with QuickTime but many times I get an error during the conversion or the audio is out of sync. Any suggestion or advice?

the guys at http://www.boxeeonappletv.com did it for me when I order by appletv with boxee preinstalled.
