Hmmm .... I'd love it to boot into XBMC but I would also like to be able to drop back to Frontrow too for the occasional Podcast etc. Shame that if you put this mod in that there doesn't appear to be a way to get to Frontrow.
Oh well. I've managed to train the family how it works now so I can just leave it the way it is.

Never booting back to front row would be great, but I would miss the native Netflix app that exists on front row. If someone could figure out how to launch the native netflix app from XBMC, than that last issue would be solved.

ah if only you could sleep the device from within xbmc and still be able to fallback to front row for airplay stuff.

i used a little workaround for sleep:
- set xbmc to shutdown after 10 minutes of idle-time (falls back to frontrow)
- set frontrow to sleep after 15 minutes of idle-time
this way, you will have sleeping apple tv 2 after 25 minutes.
for me, i now leave my apple tv 2 up and running all the time, as the energy-usage is quite low.

I was under the impression that XBMC resets the sleep timer to 'Never' at boot, but once it successfully closes it returns to the previous setting. The problem being that if XBMC crashes or does not shut down cleanly the setting is left at "Never"
Don't even think about my mother!

You guys make things possible, which never ever gonna happen. Are there any explanations how you did this miracle?
