So earlier I had made some posts about turning on the mini and TV and finding "snow" on the TV instead of the screen. Well, after a week now with the new Monoprice mini DisplayPort ->HDMI, I haven't had any display problems.
I haven't had a chance to try out the iphone remotes yet, which I hope to do sometime next week. Also, I have found myself still liking having a keyboard for some reason. Occasionally, if I reset the Mac Pro for an update or something, the shared folders get dropped from the mini, and I need it to reconnect, etc., so, I am thinking of getting a mini bluetooth keybaord. I'm not sure which, but, something pretty small, obviously...
All in all, after a couple of weeks, I love the setup. I think the only thing I thought I might miss was that my bother, an amzing movie director, is being interviewed by Charlie Rose this week sometime (well, it has already been filmed, but is being aired this week) and I thought oh how will I see it - turns out all the shows are online, so no big deal. His movie is Goodbye Solo, so check it out!
But back to the mini, the setup rules. I don't miss cable, I don't miss Tivo and everything works pretty much flawlessly. I have all my TV shows, no commercials, no missed shows which come on at the same time, DVD movies work great, Hulu on Plex is a dream, Netflix on Plex is just awesome (I watched 2 movies in the past week on watch it now).
That's it for now..
