Apple TV Hacks USBWe all knew it was coming, we just had no idea when. Someone has developed a patch for the AppleTV that will allow you to connect an external hard drive to it via the extra USB port, thus expanding your storage. The hack gives you the ability to sync your whole iTunes library to an external drive, so you don’t have to worry about streaming content anymore.

To do this hack you will need: an ssh-enable AppleTV, Intel Mac or Intel-based Linux/Unix system, installed version of Mac OS X 10.4 Intel, an original, unmodified copy of the ‘mach_kernel.prelink’ file from your AppleTV, and a USB external hard drive (formatted in HFS+). Not to mention a whole lot of Cojones.
