That's how I set mine up. I used Scott's stuff to get an Ubuntu live CD
to boot, got everything installed, then removed the USB hub. Only have
the MS mce receiver plugged in the USB port. It's a nice clean and tidy
setup (only the HDMI->DVI adapter looks clunky). Never had to crack
open the AppleTV. Been running without issues for a few weeks now.
It's a great device for a quiet bedroom HD capable frontend.
