nah, my TV is connected to my hifi - currently via AirTunes (using an
Airport Express). Thing is now I have no way to control the music
that's in my library (because I've sold my powerbook this week), which
is upstairs, not in the living room. The reason to connect up to the
TV is so I can use Front Row to decide what to listen to, without
having to go upstairs - I might as well put the CDs in my cd player
otherwise!

What I can't work out is whether a mini would be better or worse than
apple tv. I'm using my HDMI port for my dvd player, so would either be
VGA (or DVI whatever it is) from the mini, or Component from the Apple
TV

hmmmm
