I know that the standard AppleTV supports only widescreen, but XBMC on the Xbox supports 4:3 and widescreen. Can XBMC on the AppleTV do the same?

Yes, I tried it tonight and it does a very good job, but unfortunately it is just so frustratingly slow starting up (buffering I suppose) even over an 'n' connection, with no indication that anything is going on. There should at least be a bar showing that it is buffering or something, just to let you know that it hasn't died. Both XBMC and Boxee (which I understand is XBMC under the covers) have the same problem in this regard.
