First, Boxee will not erase anything from the device itself. It simply adds another menu in the Apple TV interface.
To get things started you’ll need to create a patchstick. The patchstick is a usb thumbdrive that will install when plugged into the Apple TV.
To make a patchstick, you’ll need to reformat a usb thumbdrive you’ve got laying around. (Nearly any size will do.)
But changes that limitation.Mounting DMG filesTransMac, a utility developed by the team at, allows you to take any DMG or sparse image file and mount it to view the contents. Despite the overwhelming market share that has on the PC market, still has a nicely sized user base, including many business users. Delete dmg files. Up until recently, opening or manipulating DMG files in Windows was considered a major hassle, if not an impossibility. TransMac also is able to burn DMG images to disc, mount physical partitions formatted as HFS / HFS+, convert to Windows readable ISO files, create brand-new DMG image files for use on a Mac, and so much more. OS X uses its own standard for disk images in the form of DMG files, which in turn have a variety of uses, mainly designed for containing binaries distributed over the web or backups of actual disk partitions.
Once you’ve got your thumbdrive ready head over to http://code.google.com/p/atvusb-creator/ to grab the Apple TV USB Creator. (ATV-USB) Download the proper file according to your operating system.
Then, remove all USB Devices except the thumbdrive you plan to use.
- Open Disk Utility in the Mac OS X Applications Folder
- Select the thumbdrive, click the erase tab and select “Mac OS Extended” then click erase. [Warning: This will erase everything on your thumbdrive!]
Then open up ATV-USB Creator
- Click “Create using”
- ATV-USB Creator will then begin to load the current .dmg file onto the thumbdrive.
Now you’ve got a bootable USB thumbdrive that will boot install automaticly as soon as Apple TV is powered on.
