I was tempted by the server version but honestly I don't need the hassle. I also purchased one of these ElGato EyeTV Tuner Sticks:
That way I'll be able to capture/record cable tivo-style. It also has some crazy feature that'll allow me to stream to any mac on my network, including my iPhone. Although come to think of it I think Apple pulled the iPhone version of the app, so my dream of streaming HD Bears games to my toilet on Sunday mornings might have to wait for a bit.
I'm really excited because this means I won't have to rely on my power-hungry and loud-as-heck G5 tower for streaming/organizing media anymore. It's so loud and big that it isn't at all practical as a media center pc, so this will be perfect.
This is my first actual personal mac since I got the G5 back in... late '05? I've been using work computers at home and haven't used the G5 tower for much of anything in the last two years. La used it for about two years until she got her new MacBook Pro six months or so ago.
