BHolland's IR remote emulation software, combined with some Mira-driven applescripts Apple's AppleTV OS (thanks to DiaboliK's Front Row Replacement package) JaS 10.4.7 (the newer kernels break sleep/wake on this machine) 4Gb boot drive + 420Gb for data storage (160+160+100) - all IDE Freecom USB DVB-T Stick (EyeTV compatible)
External VGA-> S-Video/Composite + Flicker Fixer (capable of 1024x768) 2Gb DDR333 RAM (1Gb + 512Mb + 256Mb + 256Mb - whatever I had lying around ) CoolerMaster Cavalier 4 (CAV-T04-UWA) Silver HTPC case JVC Widescreen (16:9) Standard Def TV - SCART/S-Video/Composite inputs only All controlled from the Apple Remote, thanks to 's Mira software and Manta TR1 dongle HTPC also runs DVD Player.app and EyeTV HTPC runs AppleTV OS and streams content from Server
Server sits in cupboard, downloading video content, converting to MPEG4 / AAC and adding to local iTunes Playback of Movies, TV Shows, Music and Photos - preferably streamed from a centralised server We just need some CableCARD support.So, following on from my old HTPC thread, recent developments with AppleTV etc have spurned me on to bigger and better things with regards my plans for HTPC niceness using Apple's solutions.
At least you don't have to deal with commercials or spend $1.99 on less-than-stellar video quality. This puts your own content on your iPod, and now, your live TV recordings on Apple TV.Įlgato is dubbing the tandem of their hardware and Apple's hardware "a perfect match." I'm not sure that the combo is the perfect match, but it certainly is getting there as far as a decent DVR solution goes for Mac users. What might be a big deal for many seems to be a pretty simple thing for Elgato to implement.ĮyeTV has an easy "iPod Button" to export EyeTV recordings into iTunes, where they automatically appear under "TV Shows". The best enhancement associated with this update, and the one that will undoubtedly get the most press, is the addition of Apple TV support. There is additional localization support, Program Guide enhancements, support for Spotlight searching, and further multiple monitor support. There is now improved set-top box support and "IR Blasters" are now supported in the US. Elgato Systems, makers of the popular digital video recording eyeTV hardware, has updated its highly-acclaimed EyeTV software with a number of improvements and bug-squishing enhancements.
