[QUOTE="dadsgravy, post: 698325, member: 19086"] I haven't really messed around with TV stuff, but it's a mac and you can pretty much do what you want with it. EyeTV is the only thing that comes to mind for me. [url]http://www.elgato.com/elgato/na/mainmenu/home/what-is-eyetv.en.html[/url] Sorry to be so vague, but hook it up to an hdtv, uses a keyboard with it and turn it into a desk top. I'm sure eyetv has some sort of remote and I'm sure you can find different remotes, tuners, whatever. If you can think it up, I'm sure somebody has made it for the mac. It all depends on your $$$$. If nobody else comes up with anything, which I doubt, start googling what you want to do with it. Like mac docking station: [url]http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=mac+docking+station&spell=1[/url] Good luck and have fun! Oh, and as far as when to buy goes, it doesn't matter when you buy, Apple will always trump your purchase. They are always updating and coming out with new products and you'll never be able to keep up unless you buy a new one every six months. So pick the time and the mac that feels right to you, and just be happy with your purchase. [/QUOTE]
