I absolutely adore the form factor and design of the Apple TV. I'm very excited to see XBMC for the Apple TV.
Unfortunately, XBMC doesn't utilize the hardware acceleration for decoding videos and this is why it can't handle high bitrate video (I still don't know what the limit actually is with XBMC).
This chart shows resolutions and bit rate of content found in iTunes. I've been using this as the basis for my own video library.
How well would XBMC on the Apple TV play this content?
