I just ordered a TVMini HD, and was wondering if anyone else owns this piece of hardware?
Basically I have 4 standard definition TiVos that I can pull recording and archive shows, so instead of shelling out $700 for a HD TiVo right ow (while there isn't very much HD on) I opted to get the TVMini HD. I will use this on my Quad G5 to record my HD shows.
Hopefully some form of HD/DVD becomes affordable soon so I can start archiving and playing this back on my TV.
What would be my best methods of playing these HD files back on my TV? I don't have HD/DVD player of any sort but I do have HDMI/DVI and all other kinds of inputs on my TV but its pretty far away from my computer. I did run a 1000T cable back there so perhaps an Apple TV would be the way to go for my HD shows? I got a 750GB spare drive for my G5 to keep shows on, so I think im good there. should I convert these to DivX to save space? What is a good program for that?
Any input or experiences would be appreciated! (waiting for some AppleTV reviews and the hacks to start popping up!)
Oh yeah, do I get the latest version of EyeTV with my purchase or just whatever version it comes with?
