Ins and Outs of Apple TV 1st Gen.
I am thinking of buying an Apple TV (160gb) that has had the hard drive wiped clean; no OS. What will it take to restore it to an usable Apple TV? Possible? What OS does it use? Thanks!

There is no straightforward way to install the 'OS' on the AppleTV 1.
I can't see why someone would have wiped the drive clean unless it's a replacement.
They may simply have done a factory restore to shipping OS version (the restore version is stored in a separate partition to the working one) - in which case it should be functional just without any media/wifi settings etc. It may need a software update to version 3.02 - the last version of the 'OS' released (it'a a variant of OS X 10.4).
