1st gen any good

[spartan]

hi
not realy know alot about apple tv but was offered gen 1 for £50
is it worth it or just get the 2gen. can you do more with the 2 gen.

The first gen is better IMO because you can git a hard drive inside it but if you want it to play hd you need to buy a little mini pci board that plugs in inside it, ask whether it's had it fitted already?

No problem! If you want to open it up you have to pull the rubber cover up in each four corners.

i like what i have seen. i take it 2nd gen as not got a harddrive does it back up to the itunes
on the pc.

first gen does any harddrive fit it, is there a limit to how big the drive is, where do i get a
mini pci board from, is there a certain one.
