hi, I've installed XBMC on my apple tv2 and it works great. I'm wondering if there's a hack that allows me to simply run xbmc all the time rather than having to go through the frontrow screen on boot-up.

Any ideas?

Yes, there is a way. Search the repos for xbmc, then find, download, and install the one my tomcool (I think it is). It'll say something about auto starting XBMC at boot.

*It gets messy if you want your ATV to sleep after __ minutes.

**By doing this, you can't get back into iOS/Frontrow, because when you exit XBMC, it restarts Lowtide/Frontrow, then the hack starts XBMC instantly again. I had to SSH back in and remote the hack so I could actually get back into Lowtide.
