Thanks Clint, good review, and there are a few mac users here! I have both PC & Mac, but will probably always prefer Mac, but I'm biased due to working with Mac developers with the classic Mac OS's. I like your idea of this tuner plus a MacMini for a HTMac, that would be a powerful easy to add unit to any HT. I've been thinking about using a Mini for HT, and this would be a big plus. Now I know what I want for Christmas... or whatelse I want.
