I bought one on eBay, they're fetching a reasonable price, nearly as
much as a new model.

Ahh, ok, it turns they do run a modified version of osx. The hack simply
installs a full osx version, then replaces the apple tv specific components,
and poof, fully operational osx install on your apple tv, and then it can be
used just like a mac mini. Very cool. Now, I'm off to goodwill, to hunt down a
couple apple tvs.

Heh, shows how much I know. I'd just assumed that the apple tv's already ran
some sort of osx release, whether a full release or specially adapted for the
tv box, I'd just assumed apple would put osx on it to make it work. Hmmm.
Well, I'm off to read the article, to see if they tell me anything about how
they work before installing osx on them.
I'm curious now.

Hi!
do you have an Apple TV First Generation? Don’t throw it into the Recycle Bin
just yet, there’s plenty of life left in that black box.
I control mine via a Remote Controller App from my iPhone and Samsung Galaxy
Note4 phone but you can go further than that if you love the sense of adventure.
I’m about to try and have my Apple TV run Mac OS X, the article linked to here
explains how its done.
Now the Apple TV may not support the latest version of OS X - and I wouldn’t be
at all surprised if it didn’t - however the example given in the linked
tutorial does describe running Snow Leopard on your Apple TV so there’s a damn
good change I might be able to get Voiceover going.
Anyway you can read more about how this is all done here.
