Well Got my MacBook Pro today. Nice. This is my first Mac. Getting use to one mouse button and the apple key, interesting. So I hooked up my TV via the DVI port and automatically the apple background shows up. Nice. Windows, I would have had to restart. Anyways, I open Front Row and the external screen goes black. I did a search and someone mentioned you would not see the menu bar, but I would not expect I could not control front row from the second screen. That is a bit of a bummer. So I continued to read, and someone mentioned to set the external as primary. I do not see that option. I went to the display settings on preference and I can detect the second screen and change the resolution but nothing about primary/secondardry. Looking for assistance. In the mean time, I change the setting to do mirror and that works, but that limits the resolution on the external device.
Got a tip for us?

Did you drag the menubar over to the other screen?
(when you are in displays and it has both monitors represented side-by-side, you drag the toolbar (as represented) to the other screen.)
Does that make sense? (Not the actual toolbar.)
Maybe someone else can explain better, if I had two monitors on my computer I'd give you a screenshot...
