Just thought i would share my experience with my newly purchased atv2.
My Setup:
Wireless N - SMB Shares on home PC (win7)
ATV2 - HDMI
Optical Connected to JVC DD3
Setup ATV2 first and connected to home WiFi and checked update software
Performed jailbreak with the latest greenposi0n (worked first go without power cord)
Installed XBMC official version (after the install of cydia of course)
All working perfectly and first time.
SMB shares setup for movies and TV, all scrapped perfectly and fanart looks awesome (and runs very quickly)
For movies i run the sound through optical and have no issues with DTS etc and for tv shows run sound through hdmi to tv.
720 vids work perfect after a quick buffer at the start, but 1080 movies will continue to buffer throughout.
So far very happy XBMC/ATV2 user, it has certainly come along way when i was using this on my xbox 6yrs ago..
