hey guys and girls.

so i have a macbook and i watch a lot of TV shows, movies on it..
but i'll like to watch them on my TV. If I brought a Mac mini would it be possible to link that to my TV and transfer the data from my macbook wirelessly to save or steam to my TV via the Mac Mini? Thinking of using it as a media centre but dont have to have to burn everything or link the macbook to it..

Is this possible?
Thanks... ;D

Yes it is. You might also want to consider an Apple TV, although that will only stream content from iTunes.

it depends on what kind of tv you have, and weather it will take a DVI signal.

then all you need is a dvi to dvi cable plug one end in your mac and the other in the tv.
