Over the weekend hackers released another plugin for AppleTV which adds [support for browsing RSS new feeds][1] via the "Backrow" navigation interface. So far there is support for RSS 1.0 and RSS 2.0 but not Atom feeds. - -The plugin developers also claim to be working on integrating video RSS feeds, noting that AppleTV supports video RSS feeds via iTunes. - -While the RSS support is mildly useful (see [Gadget Lab for more details][3]), the Holy Grail of AppleTV hacks remains support for external USB storage devices. To that end, [AppleTVHacks is offering a $1000 reward][2] to the first person/team who can make it work. - -The money will go the first team to submit a verified process and patch, with the following rules: - ->* Patch must allow a USB hard drive, plugged into the Apple TV’s USB port to act as the default and primary storage for the Apple TV. -* The Apple TV must still boot from the internal drive and cannot use a complete replacement OS (the kernel may be patched, and additional kexts added). -* Patch must allow the media to be accessed as it would be were the internal drive being used (i.e if you couldn’t see their was a USB drive attached you wouldn’t know). -* Patch must be able to be applied without opening the case. -* Patch must be able to be removed (and the Apple TV to original configuration) without opening the case. -* No commercial files can be used asides from those found on the Apple TV or Mac OS X Intel. All others must be freely and legally distributable. -* The process cannot have been previously published, or demonstrated / distributed publicly. - - -With a successful patch and $1000 you could buy the AppleTV and about 1 terabyte of external drive storage space, now who doesn't want that. For more details check out the [AppleTVHacks post][2]. - -[3]: http://blog.wired.com/gadgets/2007/04/more_apple_tv_h.html "More Apple TV Hacks: RSS, Game Emulation?" -[2]: http://www.appletvhacks.net/2007/04/08/1000-bounty-for-external-usb-drive-hack/ "$1000 Bounty for External USB Drive Hack" -[1]: http://blog.twenty08.com/2007/04/07/appletv-rss-plugin-beta-1-available/ "AppleTV RSS Plugin Beta 1 Available"
