I moved to a Synology DS111 + an Apple TV2 + XBMC.
XBMC is really awesome to be honest (although NMT plays a few more wonky formats then XBMC does)

Not to derail this thread (this will be my last question) but how do you find 1080p/24 playback on the AppleTV2 with XBMC? I've read conflicting reports. Also, are you using the DLNA/UPnP from the NAS or just using shares?

Sure, you can use PM if you like for any follow up questions.

Regarding this one: AppleTV2 does use a 720p output. The developers of XBMC on AppleTV2 don't yet know if it's a hardware limit or limit by software (there might be a possibility for 1080p output, but no guarantee).

It down-scales 1080p very nicely. I have watched 12GB 1080p via my NAS to the Apple TV2. XBMC is able to stream via upnp, smb, ftp and such where smb is the best choice.

Thank you! You've just convinced me. I've been on the fence for a while about it. Where I would like to use it is best for viewing 720p media anyways. My concern was the possibility of having to re-encode the 1080p media for the AppleTV2. My setup would be very similar to yours. Thanks again.
