More than likely it's not two DVI ports, but one DVI and one ADC, if one has rounded sides, it's an ADC connector. ADC <http://pinouts.ru/Video/apple_adc_pinout.shtml> As for XMBC, sure it ought to work just fine. I suspect the G5's fans and general heat output might be an issue in the living room, but it certainly cannot hurt to try. Also, DVI connects just fine to HDMI, using an adapter such as this: <http://tinyurl.com/2x87q2> and works like a charm (I use one to connect my powerbook to my TV, which doesn't have any DVI connectors.) -- Bruce Johnson "Wherever you go, there you are" B.
