Hi, I'm new to the forum. First of all let me say that XBMC is spectacular and it has given my ATV unforseen new qualities.
I don't have an HDTV. Therefore, I'm using the kext command to activate the TVComposite hack. However, NitoTV is slowing down my ATV and I'm wondering whether I can uninstall NitoTV and still run the kext command. If not, are there lighter alternatives to NitoTV?
I'm hesitating to uninstall NitoTV as I hear that it's a pain and after all the system is fairly stable now.
I appreciate any suggestions.
davilla, thx a lot for the link. I'm trying to add the TVComposite hack to the startup items as per description.
It tells me to create a file by entering:
sudo nano -w /System/Library/StartupItems/ATV_Color/ATV_Color
I have been able to create the directory /ATV_Color but when I enter the line of code above I get the error message:
sudo: nano: command not found

Mini-command-line primer:
"nano: command not found" means the command "nano" was not found in the execution path. google "nano" shows that nano is a command-line text editor. So "nano: command not found" mean that you don't have nano installed.
Next time you patch with atvusb-creator always pick binutils, the contains several useful binaries like nano which is a text editor.

move to the appletv, unpack, move the contents to /usr/bin with sudo cp.
That worked beautifully. Thanks a lot for the incredibly quick reply.
Great work on XBMC! It really multiplied the enjoyment I'm getting out of the ATV!
