[Apple TV] Black screen after Crystal HD install
#1
I just installed the Broadcom BCM970015 in my ATV1, following this guide. After installing the card and plugging the ATV in I can see the gray apple, watch the startup video, but then the screen goes black. I can hear the audio when moving around within Launcher, but I can't see anything.

I tried reinstalling patchstick and I could see that run, but then black screen at frontrow. Same results switching between HDMI and component. Ran diagnostics and I could actually see that, it said everything was working just fine. Even reinstalled the wifi card and checked all the connections but still see only the black screen. I can SSH just fine so I hope it's fixable. Any advice would be appreciated.

Wow, apparently it was due to the ATV files. I fixed following comment 3 here in case others run into this problem.

Use Terminal to SSH into your ATV.

Type:
wget http://ericiii.net/sa/appletv/ATVFiles-1.3.0b1.run

Once the .run file is on atv you can install from terminal

Type:
chmod +x ATVFiles-1.3.0b1.run

Type:
./ATVFiles-1.3.0b1.run

Restart Finder and you should be good to go. Thanks internet!
