Apple TV and USB External HDD
#1
With the recent development of the Broadcom Crystal HD and the Apple TV, my interest in purchasing an Apple TV has peaked. However, I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around using an external HDD with the Apple TV. I tried searching through the other topics in this forum, but couldn't find a precise answer.

I would like to use a 2.5" external HDD (Yes, I'm aware that the Apple TV has an internal HDD) so that I can have a portable HTPC with a lot of space. I know that OSX, and I would imagine the Apple TV, cannot write to NTFS formatted drives (which the external HDD would be formatted as), but it can read them.

If I were to add files via my Windows machine to the NTFS formatted external HDD to use with the Apple TV, would I run into any problems?
