I knew there must have been a way to upgrade the hard drive on the Apple TV. After talking with Apple they stated that there was not a way. What they must have meant was there was not a non technological way to do it. Maybe that it was not easy for consumers to do on their own without proper knowledge.
Over at AppleTVHacks.net they have posted an How-To on upgrading your Apple TV hard drive. One thing they do mention though is that when choosing a drive you need to be thinking about the increase in heat and if you put a drive in that causes too much heat it will cause issues with the Apple TV.
I personally do not yet have an Apple TV but I do plan to get one, the main limitation was the size of the hard drive that made me think twice. The other limitation was that no one knew if the Apple TV would really support 5.1 surround sound. After talking with Apple they stated that iTunes and the Apple TV do in fact support 5.1 however the content that you download from iTunes is not encoded with 5.1 surround sound.
