What kind of TV tuner USB stick are you using? I know the Elgato eyetv
hybrid has a small (6") usb extender cable so it's not right up next the
computer and blocking the other ports.

Yes, mini has four usb ports, so keyboard, mouse, tv tuner card, USB
harddrive, Superdrive, oops, that's five. Seven, if you count the fact
theTV card won't work without a direct connection and it blocks two
ports because they designed it for the laptops, not the mini. Sigh, I
am really getting sick of a lot of Apple's s&**t.
Major problem for six months they can't solve, now they don't even
acknowledge me.

Hi,
I believe that Apple discourages connecting keyboards through USB
hubs. In the past, such a configuration could actually cause
significant erratic behaviour and sometimes other very undesirable OS
difficulties. This was years ago so it's possible that things have
changed but I would recommend that you always leave the keyboard
connected directly and use the USB hub for non-essential devices.
Later...

Hi.
To save precious USB connections on my Mac Mini I used a usb hub to
connect both my mouse and my PC style keyboard to my Mini. Both the
mouse and keyboard work fine in this configuration, the only problem
is every time I restart the computer I have to remap the Windows/Alt
keys to the Option/command layout that is more traditional because
Lion seems to be losing these settings.
