[QUOTE="kaidomac, post: 267188, member: 15110"] I would definately suggest going with Elgato, the makers of EyeTV. They have the best TV recording software for Mac, imo. Here is a link to their website: [url]http://www.elgato.com/[/url] Regarding speakers, there are a number of great computer speakers available. Take a look at Logitech and Klipsch for some good models (Logitech z-2300 and Klipsch ProMedias are great examples). As far as wireless goes, Apple is releasing a product currently named "iTV" which will let you wirelessly stream movies, music, and photos to your TV. It is slated for release next year (2007). I used my Mac Mini as a set-top box for awhile, but a cheaper and better option is to use a modded Xbox. Used Xboxes go for about $130 USD from retailers, and even cheaper if you go on ebay. With a modchip, you can use the Xbox to play movies, music, photos, and other content straight from your iMac. If you want more info on that, just send me a PM. [/QUOTE]
