Re: apple tv
Just put one or two movies in it.... then look for Movie Information then try and configure from there. Took me quite a while I will admit. It's quite geeky to set up but once its up and running its fantastic.
I'd probably be quite lost with the Apple TV version as well.... It's linux based. Worth some time learning it IMO.
Actually just thought of something.... Run Boxee on your computer instead just to give yourself an idea of what the much better XBMC is capable of. Boxee is dead simple to use. Boxee is basically a user freindly version of XBMC and should just run straight away.

Is it expensive? This is new to me. We cancelled sky tv a few months back and don't really miss the packages etc itself, but do get hacked off when I'm home of the drivel on the tv. Love my music would love to be able to play the music off my itunes or iphone/ipod in different places without relying on the max volume coming out the little speaker on the device.

Re: apple tv
WD TV Live is better. You can plug in your own storage so you don't need to stream.
