Nope. Probably a few weeks yet.

2. There is a weather thing for the native ATV2 interface, but I don't know much about it, and I would avoid installing lots extra stuff other than XBMC. Other software doesn't always release ram and other system resources when they should. XBMC has its own weather add-on/display that is probably nicer anyways.
As for other things, like I said, I would avoid unnessesary software so that XBMC has more resources at its disposal. One thing that is safe to install and is handy is this guy for USB access to the ATV2: iOS_FAQ#USB_access (wiki)

Also, the weather within XBMC is not the weather I'm looking for. The weather my friend had was displayed on the Apple 'page/OS' if you like whereas the weather on XBMC can only be accessed whilst in XBMC. My friend isn't talking to me so I can't find out what add on he had.

Ok, thanks.
One question, well two really. What is 'ZeroConf Browser'? And where can I get the extremely detailed install instructions for XBMC?

Follow the instructions here for setting up your TC: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Add...ia_sources
Except at Step 4, you'll probably want to select Zeroconf browser from the list, then look for your TC in the Zeroconf browser listing. It should show up there as long as your sharing settings are correct on the TC.
To change your weather, go to System\Weather\Settings, and enter your city. That will change it within XBMC only. The default Apple menu has its own weather plugin/app as well. To change that, you'll have to navigate to the Settings page from the Apple menu. The Apple menu weather and XBMC weather are completely separate, and don't talk to each other.
Also, to answer your other question from your other thread, you need to calibrate XBMC so that everything is visible on the screen. To do that go to System\System\Video Output\Video Calibration. And go through the calibration process to make XBMC fit on your TV screen.
And please keep your questions confined to one thread. You'll get better results that way, and it won't clutter the forum.

That would be the XBMC Wiki (wiki). Good places to start are:
