  • Oh I forgot: the iMac G5 definitely needs a DVB-T tuner! The new standard for digital terrestrial TV brroadcast is spreading fast, an I hate the idea of dragging an elgato eveTV around my appartment... It's so bulky, I don't think you can attach it to the iMac either... grrrr... At least eyeTV (supposedly) can stream to wireless networks, so you need one fixed computer that has the TV tuner attached to it, which streams the signal to your home wireless network... aah life is going to be so great... if only I had the cash to shell out for all this...

  • Hi, as I fully understand the tecnical side of you rant, the lack of all other connectors, although physically caused by lack of signal converters inside the unit, has big political advantages for at least the European markets (especially Video/S-Video). Because every big display that has TV compatible inputs is declared an entertainment device and subject to 15% EU import duties. If it is stricly a display for IT systems it's exempt from duties. I presume this situation quite similar in the US. On a different note, I personally think the 20" iMac G5 also featuring a VESA mount will do pretty much all you asked for... At least I'm planning on using it that way! Cheers, Konstantin
