Hey guys,
Anyone know if we'll be able to get Front Row for the old iMac G5's...?

trpnmonkey41 said:Unlikely. The remote for front row uses RF technology, and there is an RF receiver built in behind the apple logo on the iMac. So unless apple decides to make an external USB receiver I don't see them releasing it
Avalon said:Actually Apple's remote uses IR (infrared), not RF (radio frequency). This is pretty surprising and in my opinion pretty senseless. They could have used Bluetooth as it is already built in, instead of adding an IR-sensor that can't be used for anything else than the remote. That would be more comfortable as well, as IR doesn't work when something's between the remote and the sensor.
