Apple Thoughts: Put AirPlay on Your Older AppleTV

"Apple's new AirPlay technology now works with the original Apple TV, thanks to FireCore's aTV Flash add-on and the latest version of its $4 app called Remote HD."

I was wondering what to do with my old AppleTV, so this may be the solution since it adds AirPlay support along with some other features. Couple that with their universal Remote HD app [affiliate link], and I think it's a winner. When you consider how easy it is to install, and the fact that the software for aTV Flash is only $39.95 USD, it really starts to make me lean towards purchasing. Macworld did a write up on the install and the functionality of this combination back in January of 2010, and gave it high marks. If it was just to add AirPlay I don't think I would go through the hassle, but it does add additional functionality that my be to your liking. FireCore has a version for the new black AppleTV also, and at only $19.95 USD.
