Apple TV Manual in PDF format

Does anyone have the link where I can get the documentation for Apple TV?

I would like to go through it to answer a couple of questions:

1. Will all kinds of movies be viewable on Apple TV? (Such as Real Audio, Silverstreak - or whatever MicroSoft calls them - and such or is there a way built into the Apple TV software or interface that these are automatically converted for use on Apple TV)

2. There is an additional USB port on the Apple TV device. Does this allow me to add another USB drive to the Apple TV for more storage beyond the Apple TV itself such that this drive would be a logical extension of the Apple TV storage?

Thank all of you very much.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.6), 4G RAM, 2nd screen-flat LCD panel, Apogee DUET Firewire

no, appletv does not support those. it has a very strict set of compatible formats. see here - http://www.apple.com/appletv/specs.html

no. the USB port has no end-user function and cannot be used for anything other than possibly charging another USB device.
