CouchSurfer ,NitoTV is this considered an 3rd party App I have to buy? #497

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I thought I saw the 
patchstick installing
NiTo TV and CouchSurfer because I saw a brief mention of them during 
installation. If they 
are there to be enabled, where might I find them? If not, and I have to look 
where to purchase,
then I presume that what I saw was just your programming to facilitate 
installation of these 3rd
party programs?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?MacOS 
Leopard

Please provide any additional information below.

nitoTV is free. Install it via Software Menu or through SSH with this file:

Thanks for your info Sam. I presume, from your answer, that CouchSurfer is a 
paid 
app. I am not sure also ,where to ask this question, but if not the venue, pls 
direct me to where I might ask. aTV Flash (paid app) must be a competitor to 
your 
great and free work that you guys do correct? If so, would I gather that your 
group 
is striving to add more functionality ie similar to aTV Flash to your patch? 

After successfully applying patchstick, am 
I able to connect a USB  hard drive to USB port to get more local storage 
available?

Hey,

We do have commercial competitors. Two infact. A limited version of Couch 
Surfer can 
be installed via NitoTV I do believe.

To connect a USB hdd you should install nitoTV > Smart Installer and the kext 
loader. Alternatively install the kext loader manually and the kernel patch.

I download the minimalistic version and I followed the instructions (actually 
only 
partially): I transfered the file it to the AppleTV vis SFTP (cyberduck) and I 
tried to put 
in several places: library first, but I don't have such configuration, as 
suggested in 
the instructions: /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/PlugIns/ 

Then I tried to put it among the applications of nitoTV. After reboot I could 
visualize 
the couchsurfer application under nitoTv menu, but I cannot start it. 

What to do now?
