HELP! keep getting same error when trying to check for 3rd party updates??
when i go to 3rd party i get an error. dont have a list of plugin’s that i can download….
what did i do wrong or did i forget something?
there seems to be a general problem with software menu and 3rd party software. I get the same error after activating this submenu. nobody seems to have a solution for this or even an answer.
Hi guys…
same problem and no answer from who post the blog..
no serious at all… better look online from a common solution.
I got something but posted on another website:
http://wiki.awkwardtv.org/wiki/NitoTV_Take_3
but u need a little skill and work with mac osx terminal.
good look.
One suggestion, better consider to add perian plug in instead the native h264. I got some problem later with smooth of some videoclip. and once installe there no way to come back to the original.
enkoy it

Hi Lillojack,
Thanks for your comment. What problem are you having? Are you having issues with the software menu? If you explain the problem I can try and replicate it and solve it on my Apple TV 1G at home.
Cheers
