HTPC?
The original plan was to purchase the Mac mini along with a capture card and one of these for the digital audio output to my receiver and use this setup for all of my home theater needs.
My mind was overwhelmed with all of the fantastic tv shows I could record and watch at my leisure… well, ok perhaps overwhelmed is a little strong. Alright, I admit it, I can’t think of a single show that I would want to record. The only thing I watch with any regularity is SportsCenter and it is repeated all night. I do admit to enjoying the Daily Show when I watch it, but it doesn’t really bother me if I do miss a show. Bottom line, I just don’t think tv is worth recording.
I am still interested in seeing what kind of interface and applications can be developed for use on large displays(like my rear projection HD set). An interesting project to watch is CenterStage. The first public alpha should be available by tomorrow.
