Front row effects

Yes.

You are using Front Row 2.0 that came with Leopard. The fall back and circle thingy happens in 1.3 in Tiger only.

Hope this clarifies.

P.S. Front Row 2.0 is better so don't fret

Hi,

I think this thread might be interesting to you.

I originally hated FR 2.0, and tried to install 1.3. The installer belched a request of '10.4.5 and a Mac with an IR port' error at me, so no. It is impossible to use FR 1.3 on Leopard. Well unless you can hack installer PKG's but that is quite difficult. Personally... Now I like FR 2.0 better as I discovered the Apple TV and found that FR has the same interface

I used this method to get FR 1.3 running on Leo:

Partition Drive using Boot Camp (make sure its an Intel Mac)
Open up Disk Utility
Click the 'BOOTCAMP' partition
Select Erase
Choose 'Mac OS Extended (Journaled)' as the format
Click Erase
Insert OS X 10.4 install Disc, locate 'OSInstall.mpkg' in /Mac OS X Install Disc 1/System/Installation/Packages/OSInstall.mpkg (allows install of Tiger without Reboot)

Then install Mac OS X Tiger (10.4) ONLY if the computer originally came with Tiger. If it came with Leopard then don't perform the above method or it will lower the performance of your Mac dramatically.

Edit: Having 2 partitions with Leo and Tiger works great. Erase Tiger as MS-DOS and install XP or Vista. Then if needed, Erase XP as Mac OS Extended and install Tiger again.
