Thanks Todd,
Which version of the mac is the "mini"? I'm sorry
I'm not too familiar with Macs, I'm just interested in finding out more about
different alternatives for frontends. Is this an older mac? Does it already come
with an appropriate video card?
It's awesome to think mythtv can run on a
laptop...!

suggestion for Frontend only fanless solution
I'm running a front end (not to TV) on my Mac G4 laptop
(1.6Ghz)- which has a hair more power than the mini. Here, I'm using 33%
of my CPU when watching a show. The show is recorded with a PVR350 at
high quality (720x480?). Seeing as the mini is only a little less brainy
than this machine, I think it would work just fine as a front end. I
don't know anything about HDTV though. The S-video output adapter is an
optional purchase for $19; it comes with DVI and VGA output.
btw- on a remote front end, when I pause live tv, that's still using the
buffer defined on the back end, right? Starting a show, I hear the hard
drive buzzing away in my laptop...

What model / version of the mac is this?
