Hi Peter

You don't actually need wireless at all for the eyeTV to work. It just runs
off the normal aerial point.
But yes, having it connected to the internet is good, as you can then update
the software, OS updates, TV guide online and "normal" access to the
internet as well as the other machines.
But if you don't want it on the internet, it won't affect the way eyeTV will
work.

But yes, the Mac mini does hook up to the wireless internet. I use the
current model 1TB Time Capsule. I have a Netgear DG834 ADSL modem, an 8 Port
Gigabit Ethernet Router and at most times it runs 4-5 Mac's, 2 iPhones, an
iPad, a wireless Epson TX810FW printer, Epson Colour Laser printer, a WD
Ethernet MyWorld 1.5TB networked Hard Drive and most nights 2 other
computers I'm either setting up for clients or "fixing". And I don't notice
any loss in speed. It's all password protected and the SSD is not visible.
(People can't see the wireless network without knowing the name).
I think that's everything hooked up,...hehe.

Hope that helps.

Kind Regards
Daniel
