MAC Mini TV Media Center

Mac Mini TV Media Center with Plex and Logitech diNovo Mini Keyboard/Mouse.

Plex & EyeTV (Optional):
Plex can automatically show your recorded TV from EyeTV (TV Tuner)

About Plex:
Plex is an XBMC port (same type of thing as boxee).
Plex can be found at http://plexapp.com

About Logitech diNovo Mini:
Li-ion rechargeable battery. It lasts about 1 month between charges.
It is not Mac certified but it works and as you could see in the video Mac OS X recognizes it
It contains a switch that flips it between touchpad mode and directional pad mode
During initial setup make sure to have a usb mouse to click on setup buttons
If the Mac ever reboots and says it can not find the mouse just be patient and move the touch pad around - it will detect it after about 30 seconds.

It's very hard to read the words on TV screen.Unless low down the resolution 640x480 or 800x600.

have you managed to assign the mediacenter button at the right buttom to start up plex or xbmc instead of using the mouse to click on it?

[kenshin3002]

can you power on the mac mini, when it is powered off?
