To get flash working copy the whole folder "/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/" to "/Users/frontrow/Library".

I know this is a work in progress... (it's excellent so far)

Is there a way (or is there a fix coming) to handle links which open a new browser window??? As it is now, with one screen obviously, Couch surfer can't handle HTML links which open a 2nd window it seems.

Fantastic Idea. . .problem is I'm a tech fan but new to mac. Can't figure out how to download this to the Apple TV. Directions were clearly above my skill set. Anyone willing to simplify, would be greatly appreciated.

What files did the original SafariHD install? and should I remove these (how?) before installing the Couch Surfer version?

Brilliant forum and concept!

Is there a tutorial on how to install the new Couch Surfer? Do I use the USB stick patch method seen elsewhere?

Thanks,

Alex

Thanks Brandon... I tried all sorts of different key combinations, but not holding the button for a longer time.... This is brilliant, I can use it now!

FYI you can shrink and enlarge the font size by hold rewind or fast-foward in scroll mode. Rewind shrinks the font and fast-forward enlarges the font. Not sure if anyone had figured that out or not :)

Hello everyone. I got this thing working (the old one, I prefer the old name...)? Is there any way to increase the font size, my tv is not big enough for me to be able to read the text.... Also, how do you install flash?

Actually I was rooting for "SofaSurfer" but I guess couch is the more commonly used word in English... ;)

What's the frequency, Kenneth? — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 20:26:58 -0000

What you all need is Azureus so you can share your flicks right at the TV. MacSurfer pointed to an article today for another brand device that has bittorrent software built in.

Also, what might be cool is if the tiny new Apple bluetooth keyboard could be made to work with it, using a dongle.

@ Travis Collins:
We need to get a vnc-server, to use the mouse and keyboard if you own an iPhone. Just look here: http://touchpadiphone.blogs...

Works like a charm!

Feature Suggestion: Use an iPhone has a keyboard and mouse

Build a quick iPhone app that connects to the apple TV to act as a keyboard and mouse. :)

The new logo is not as good as the old/original one. I suggest an icon from http://www.iconfinder.net/i...

No keyboard working with Couch Surfer according to brandon

Brandon says: "If you want to use a keyboard and mouse use firefox" :D
