What's the big deal with a Frontrow Mini? You have it sitting next to/on top of your tv and hooked via s-video, you use yor FrontRow remote with a broadband hookup, you log into the AppleStore, d/l your show/movie selected from their library, and watch it on your tv via the mini. It's a service receiver with a cpu/ computer with a content receiver. I guess the bottleneck would be the d/l of the content, it would have to be faster somehow.
