Hi!
I'm sure this has been discussed here already, but it's very difficult to search for things like "upgrade mac mini IR", you'll get nearly all threads back, so I've to post it again (maybe).

I've an old Mac mini G4 @ 1.42 GHz.
I'd like to use it as my media server next to my TV set. But these old mac minis don't have an IR port built-in.
So I'd like to ask you: is there a possiblity to upgrade the mac mini with an IR port and a remote control?
Like via USB or so.

Can you show me some kits for this purpose?
And: will this work with FrontRow?

Thank you very much!

Fritz
