[QUOTE="pendlewitch, post: 1458366, member: 214663"] Hello and welcome, I found Eye TV a bit too finicky and it meant the source box and TV had to be on the channel that I wanted to watch which didn't go down too well with 'her indoors' so I got a multi-room subscription and second box...but it costs as you know. You seem to want to connect the Eye TV to your mac mini and I'm not sure why? I'd keep things clean if I were you and just use it for the cable box and 2 x HDTV setup, the idea is that you use a secondary cable box remote in the bedroom and switch the source box channels by the active infra-red link which if I remember is hard wired by co-ax between the two TV's UHF inputs. An Apple TV connected to your bedroom tv would mirror your mini's display via Airplay provided that you have a version 2 or 3 and a Mac Mini mid 2011 or newer with Mountain Lion OSX. Provided your wireless mouse and keyboard are within range then you would be remotely controlling the Mac mini as if your were in front of the source equipment. Incidentally is your LG surround an all-in-one set up or is it a separate Audio Visual Receiver? [/QUOTE]
