TV to go
Miglia TVMini
so hang on... I get digital TV with brilliant channels like BBC Three
(UK), I can record programmes I want to watch at the click of a button,
pause live TV when the phone rings, watch my recordings on my iPod on the train, and it all fits in
my pocket?
nonsense, surely?
well of course... you've forgotten that it's ready to receive next
generation HD broadcasts, that you can edit recordings with iMovie or
Final Cut, and that it's got a remote control. silly.

tips
- not everywhere has reception... visit Freeview to see where you can get
a signal, and which channels are available (UK only)
- moving the aerial around can improve reception
- if you have a bigger or fixed aerial, you can connect it to
the TVMini for better reception
- don't want to pay for a tvtv subscription (€20 a year)?
TVMini can also view the free programme guide carried with the signal
- in the UK, you will still need a TV Licence

- A Mac with a free USB 2.0 port (see "About this Mac" in the
Apple Menu, click on "More Info...: then "USB" and look for "High Speed
USB")
- A PowerPC G4 500MHz,
G5 or Intel Core Solo or Duo (see
"About this Mac" in the Apple Menu)
