[QUOTE="Renevator, post: 267741, member: 21636"] Yes that's right. The flaw seems to be the wireless connection between imac & TV monitor, which I gather is "iTV" as mentioned before. I assume this would enable me to watch [U]live[/U] TV on the TV monitor thru the tuner in the iMac. Having thought about this I suppose it might be simpler to have a simple LCD TV & just treat that as a stand alone unless I want to watch DVD or record stuff, in which case I could then turn on the iMac & work the 2 as you suggested? Many thanks for all this advice - I think I might have to check out this tivo, but I fear this might mean signing up for a digital servce, which apart from music & motorcycle sport really doesn't interest me, well not acres of football, soaps, reality TV & old comedy etc.........hang on, that's what I'm getting via the BBC, ITV CH4 & CH5 come to think of it.... Actually the more I read about Mac's the more I want one regardless of whether it makes a good home entertainment unit or not. They really are a lovely design & seem more than up to the job. Biggest selling point these days must be the fact that you can run both mac & windows software on them - kinda makes PC's obsolete really. Thanks again for all your advice. [/QUOTE]
