Ordered HDMI->Ethernet baluns for my Mac mini home-theater PC. Gonna put the whole thing in another room (with the cable box and broadband).

Please give us details on the build!
- Joseph Skerbec
I'm doing a talk on MacMania 9. Come and see it! ;-) I'll write up a series of blog posts but so far: Mac Mini, Eye TV HD 250 <http://elgato.com>, Plex/XBMC/Boxee, ZephIR <http://www.thezephir.com/ZephIR...> to control the cable box from EyeTV, Ethernet Baluns from Octava <http://www.octavainc.com/HDMI%20...>
- Leo Laporte
I want a mac mini for my home theater since I don't have cable. I wanna watch netflix and hulu and listen to my music over the main speaker. sigh but I just bought my macbook. I keep wanting more! Leo, I'm jealous!
- Lise
This all started because I was fed up with the AppleTV. But it's ending up costing considerably more.
- Leo Laporte
Shouldn't the mac mini have HDMI by now??
- Christopher Taylor
It has DVI - easy enough to convert.
- Leo Laporte
you should have gotten the minidisplayport adaptor to HDMI monoprice sells it
- Comptr
Every computer has gigabit ethernet, and circuits are cheap. Always wished that graphics and sound cards included them for distribution
- Keith Barrett
Man, I was wanting to buy the AppleTV. what didn't work for you?
- Jim Williams
It's underpowered and it seems to freeze up a lot. I want to be able to do more, too.
- Leo Laporte
leo can you give us a review on the HDMI to ethernet adaptor when you get it. I have been in the market for one.
- Comptr
Leo, can a solo core run this system or do you think a new mini is requisite?
- Jason L Berman
Definitely looking forward to the full details on your blog.
- Mike Dotta
Sorry, changing this post (it's my first post here). The feeds go down, like a book, not up like a blog! doh! Anyway, I have no powering problems with my Apple TV and no freezes. Both the music and movies sound great on the Bose system! I wish I could set the Apple TV as a wireless base...

Wii Remote, RemoteBuddy and Mac Mini = HTPC bliss.
- Jack Zimmermann
I really like Gefen stuff...I like how they seem to build no-compromises full force stuff. How are you going to remote control the Mini? With a hackintosh running Screensharing/ARD? ;)
- Mike Ma
Why not use a Harmony? I've been using a Harmony 880 with my macbook pro (dvi -> hdmi, toslink adaptor to receiver), and it controls everything, including front row, boxee, itunes, not to mention the tv and audio.
- Paul Ward
aah just what the doctor ordered, is there something which also extends the TOS link for sound?
- Jebu Ittiachen
A Vista Media Center computer and an XBox will give you HDMI and a whole lot more functionality, like cable card, dvr, etc. Windows 7 MCE is even cooler. I install this setup all the time for customers.
- Mike
any recommendations on a MCE config. I attempted to put together one with old hardware PVR-150, MCE XP, everything worked except IR Blaster with DirectTV STB (D11-500). Couldnt find a ir code that would work and MCE would not recognize the IR Blaster
- Mike McCrary
Check the Htguys podcast. They just did an update on the new macmini as a home theater component. I believe it was two weeks ago.
- james
@Mike McCrary, did you give thegreenbutton.com a try http://thegreenbutton.com/search...? Are you using a USB MCE remote with a green MCE button on it? Connect the MCE USB IR recvr to the PC, then connect an IR bug from the IR recvr to the DirecTV box. Now all you need is the codes. You can use a Global Cache IR reader to read the codes from the DirecTV remote then program the MCE remote.
- Mike
I wonder if he was inspired after the caller from last weekend needed one for his school?

Looking forward to the information on the final build

Baluns came. Require dual CAT-6 cables for 1080p. I don't Jennifer is going to like this.
- Leo Laporte
Will you be using Boxee? XBMC? Do tell.
- Gunnyman™
I'm planning on trying Boxee, XBMC, and Plex - although Front Row with the EyeTV plugin (PyeTV) is also tempting.
- Leo Laporte
I could not get into Plex after using Boxee. The interface for Boxee works better but Plex looks nicer. I just wish Boxee would implement UPnP for my PS3 like Plex can.
- Mark Ogley
I skipped the AppleTV and went right for the Mini, more expensive but haven't looked back. Jumping out to use Safari (with zoom) on a plasma TV is great, especially for community surfing with friends and family. I tried Plex, Boxee, XBMC. Like Boxee features but keep going back to Plex - it just looks so much better.
- James Nobes
Building a linux htpc based on ubuntu, running xbmc, maybe boxee, whichever ends up being better. Looking for ideas on a remote control. Any takers?
- Josh Haley
I'm also putting together an htpc. I'm a Linux guy, but I keeping considering a Mac Mini because most of the software I have in mind runs on either. I ma end up with a Linux backend and a mac mini front-end
- Keith Barrett
My Ubuntu MythTV backend and Mini frontend works well

Probably hasn't been heard of since because you can actually BREAK YOUR WINKY! Which is highly disturbing to me. Hence why I would never even think of doing this. I treasure my winky, along with a relatively small number of other individuals.

Also see http://jezebel.com/5234308... - in particular, "Just when you were getting over the horror of daggering, a video of extreme dancing to reggae music shows a man jumping off of an 8 foot column on to the crotch of a woman.Oh yeah: And then he throws a table at her."

"So, for the July 4th holiday, we went to my parents’ house for dinner and, because it seemed like the perfect opportunity to celebrate family and tradition, I decided to bring the banana pudding. With my grandmother’s pudding in my mind as the ideal banana pudding – the pudding on a pedestal, you might say - I set out to do my best. I knew I needed to make a banana pudding chock full of vanilla wafers and banana pieces. Her version always had a meringue on top, but since I intended to make mine a day ahead and then transport it, I went with a crunchy topping of ground vanilla wafers flavored with cinnamon."

I took a stack of hot pancakes, layered them with fruit, and poured on a bled of three creams until they were bien mojado—nice and wet.
