Brian, I use a Mini and Plex with a 32" Samsung LCD.
It's awesome!

That's correct: It outputs a 1080p signal to a 1080p set.
And, as we both said, it doesn't support 1080p sources--720p24 max.
Again, care to quote a source on that. EVERYTHING I've read says the maximum output on an aTV is 720p.
"The existing hardware will never be able to decode or output 1080p video in full native resolution. However, the new Take Two software enables 1080p output in the unit's HDMI subsystem to scale up its 720p content and deliver it as a 1080p signal to TV sets that support 1080p display."
From this old review when Take 2 was released: http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/08/02/13/apple_tv_take_2_an_in_depth_review_part_1_whats_new.html

Please write a letter to the people that wrote "EVERYTHING" and tell them they're wrong:
