Re: [OS X] Mini as an HTPC I see it that an ATV ( 1/2/3) can do about 3/4 of what a Mini can accomplish.....and I feel a Mini...even an older C2D..can offer the user about 6/5ths of an ATV............
I suppose if you are a heavy Itunes user....I
'm not...and for the bit that I am, Plex takes care of that requirement and Netflix, quite admirably...............then an ATV makes sense.......
Even jailbroken, I felt my ATV fell well short of a Mini as a HTPC.............
If needs must, i'll simply fire up Itunes, on the Mini and play content from the Cloud.......other than that, as I said, the little bit of telly I watch........mainly Footy from England/Walking Dead/Dr Who...a networked Vulkano player does an admirable job for me......obviously, it's NOT 1080p content, but for my old tired eyes, it's more than watchable!! |
