Yep. Also because I've always heard it the _other_ way 'round. At least for PowerBooks/iBooks/MacBooks.

Has anyone found iTunes to be unstable when you use it as a host for Apple TV? It keeps on crashing on me. Now, this also might be because I have 150gb iTunes library, but i'm not sure.

My AppleTV runs quite hot as well.

However, I am running it with an upgraded 160GB Hitachi drive. It is connected to my Pioneer Receiver via component and optical cables. I've also got the RCA cables plugged in which routes audio to a second preamp for karaoke.

So far it hasn't had any problems other than being hot. I do find that it cools when in standby. Luckily my Logitech Harmony 880 remote puts it into standby mode automatically when I choose to power off all devices or switch activities.

I would recommend a Harmony remote to anyone with an AppleTV. However, I found that the Harmony remote works best when the Apple remote is mapped to the Harmony's center directional pad.

I have a harmony remote as well (well sort of), it's technically logitech and logitech bought out harmony. How did you get the converter to put it in standby mode? because to do that with the remote that comes with the appletv, you would need to push the play button for a couple of seconds. Is there a way for the remote to hold the button?

This happens with 'Kettle Leads' for computers. Turn the mains off first. Then plug it in to your appletv
