| Can I replace my Apple TV HDD wih a bigger one?
Can I replace my apple TV's hardrive with a bigger one? I couldn't imagine that I would be able to get 40GB full, but now I have 60GB of Kids DVD's which my little boy loves to watch. Anyway, if it's possible, which harddrive is recommended for Apple TV?

The question is "why". My iTunes library tends to exceed such mobile drives, anyway, so I just share my 1 TB drive (with my iTunes library on it) to the Apple TV, setting synching to automatic. Its 40 GB drive takes the newest files automatically, the rest is simply streamed as needed. Requires my Mac to run constantly - but that it does, anyway.

Streaming is a great option. However it is not ideal for everyone. Potential problems with streaming: 1. Mac must be on the entire time. I don't want to go across my house to power on my computer everytime I sit down in my living room to watch tv. This would also be a pain for those with laptops as their primary computer. 2. Network latency may become an issue, particularly with WiFi connections. For me upgrading my ATV harddrive was a no-brainer. I've done it twice since I purchased the ATV when it first came out. I mention that I do not sync previously watched content. I only sync unwatched content. Cheers!
