Sorry for digging up an old-ish thread, but MatthewH12 did you get any response RE lag issues using a mySQL database?
I tried this using a TS410 NAS like nsviper above and also had some major lags when navigating menus/movie information etc.

I haven' tried setting up a SQL DB again yet, waiting on the scanning lag to be fixed in the ATV builds.

i am running atv2 with the nightly build connected via ethernet directly to the router. media is on a hackintosh (os x 10.6.4) via nfs. i think the usability of xbmc with atv2 boils down to the choice in skins.
i am now on alaska revisited and it's awesome. i also set the default action of the select button to "choose" so it activates the contextual menu instead of just playing a movie so i can decide to look at movie information or whatnot.
i also have xbmc commander installed on my iphone and ipad but i have not had time to play with it much. i was initially not getting gestures to work... i'll look into it more when i have time.

I use it as my main media box. It it perfect if you only get scene release TV, as it plays it back flawlessly, same with 720p movies (h264). To be fair I only have a 720p plasma, so I'm sure those with enormous 1080p screens will be disappointed.
Icefilms (SD), Hulu, Netflix all work great.
I have a Revo as well, but haven't bothered to set it up yet, as atv2 seems pretty much perfect.
