Currently running Fedora 7, latest DVB drivers from the repository built myself.

Works with TV-out, VGA or DVI. TV-out needs to buy an DVI-Tvout adaptor from Apple. The quality of the TV-out image it's not very good. The VGA and DVI output image is very good. I don't notice nothing strange. The only audio output is optical 5.1 or analog 2.0 They use the same hole. I use the optical 5.1 connected to Logitech z-5500 digital speakers For controlling I use my j2me capable phone with the freevused plugin or the Apple remote that came with the computer with the Linux event driver plugin. Both uses the bluetooth included in the computer. The Apple remote has only 5 buttons including movement so it's not possible to use all the Freevo actions but it's girlfriend or wife friendly ;-) The distro I use now is Ubuntu 7.04 but it should work with most recent distributions as the Intel chipset is quite well supported out of the box. I think the only non-free drivers are the Wifi ones. The mac mini has 4 usb connections to add keyboard, mouse or joysticks and a dvd drive. It's quite expensive but is very small, does not make noise if not using the dvd and it has power for 720p x264 movies. I think Apple is going to sell a new generation of Mac minis with Core 2 Duo chips. I don't know if it will be supported by distros out of the box but I suppose it will work with the distros that will come up this end of year.

* TV card - analogue, dvb-t/s/c, atsc DVB-T: Technisat Airstar2 (we also have a Nova-T and are waiting for freevo2 to use both cards in parallel :-) ) * Sound card onboard * Graphics card Matrox G400 + TV-Out-Adapter, before that we had NVIDIA Geforce2MX400 both cards needed some twiddling before the TV-Out was working without black borders around the picture... I wonder why it is such a problem to create a good TV-Out signal, that is understood by a TV device out of the box. Aren't there standards like PAL and NTSC? Why is it that difficult? (You hear my frustration, but apart from that the picture of the Matrox card is quite good and it was really cheap and passive cooled) * CPU Pentium3 with 750 MHZ * harddisc Samsung 120GB, 5400 U/min (big enough for some mp3s, some pictures, some movies and most important for everyday recording as long as you remove stuff after watching, one hour of dvb-t recording without encoding is around 1 GB by the way...) * remote A lirc receiver which is plugged to the good old serial input. Works with any remote, just needs some configuration. At the moment we use the remote of an old analog TV-card and of course a quiet CPU-Fan, quiet power supply, quiet DVD-Drive, everything in an usual black desktop case, nothing fancy here...

Some weird custom case which was used in a shop computer. The pc came
from my flatmate's work, it stopped working with their POS system for
some unknown reason. The companies tech replaced the whole machine and
told my flatmate to chuck the old one out. She rang me and said I have
a pc here, do you want it, I said what is in it and she said dunno.
I said yeah, bring it home thinking it was some shitty old sub
gigahertz machine - it turned out to be amd 2500+ with 512 ram :D Score!
