    Im not so smart, so please help a brotha out: what equipment is needed to use a Mac mini as a dvr?
    Just doing what I can to stay on this side of the dirt.

    That is hilarious.


    I have DirecTV and the HD is great but the price sucks. I am thinking of switching to an OTA and streaming as well.

    Neither, TV rots your brain and takes away from posting here.

    I have both. Cable for broadband and VoIP provider (ViaTalk) for home phone over the same pipe. Dish DVRs for TV, hoping to upgrade to Hopper soon. DishAnywhere for TV content delivered wherever via my broadband cable.
