Because the Mac mini is the perfect form factor for an entertainment center, I'm wondering what applications could be used for recording television broadcasts? Playing DVD's appears to be no problem, as my experience with Front Row has been very positive in that regard, but the missing piece of the puzzle is using a TV tuner card to record and to play content from cable television. Any recommendations will be highly appreciated.
