Corrections:
37:04 - The Apple TV first gen IS capable of booting from USB devices, but it requires the drive to contain a mock version of mach_kernel to trick the Apple TV into thinking that its booting into the modified version of OS X that it ships with. This is how people run OSMC and other Linux-based distros. I actually made such a video on OSMC years ago, but it slipped my mind during the filming of this video.
