I'm looking into getting an EyeTV hybrid and have some questions. I would like to get a Mac Mini and have that connected to my LCD HDTV. Will the Mini be sufficient for use this way? I'd like to record sporting events and some TV shows in HD. Also, is it worth it to get the H.264 Turbo encoder? I think eventually it would be cool to have any TV shows or sporting events on my (eventual) AppleTV. And last but not least, what has been your experience with the EyeTV? Is there anything I should know about as far as quality, latency, skipping, etc? If the Mini will not be suffice, do you have any other recommendations on how to do what I'm shooting for? Basically, I'd like an HD TiVO without having to pay $800.

Thank you very much! :)
