[QUOTE="velejaj, post: 1225205, member: 199607"] Ok, thanks for your reply. But, I'm not from US, I'm from europe and I can't even buy ATV 2 in store right now, at least in my country. It's not a big problem, I can get it in different ways, but I just want to know what are the real differences for me. I'm in a country where we don't have netflix or any service like that, I was thinking to use ATV just like an HTPC (sort of). I have an iMac on my upper floor and the plasma is in the lover floor. I want to be able to stream videos, music and photos from external HDD attached to my iMac onto my plasma through my wireless home network. Now, as far as I get it, the biggest difference is HDD in ATV 1. But I think that I also have red somewhere that I could manage to use an USB port on ATV 1 for flash drive or an external HDD connection. Based on what I've said and if I wouldn't stream 720P high bitrate HD video, what do you think, should I still go with ATV 2? USB-in port would be a nice feature but not crucial. Thanks [/QUOTE]
