Sorry to hear about your difficulties with the mac. I
googled myth HD with high def, nVidia cards, HDMI,
different TVs, etc., and I found a lot of
difficulties. So I assumed it would be a difficult
thing to get it going right.

It wasn't, at least for me, as I describe elsewhere in
this thread. It was mostly plug-n-play (used mythbuntu
this time, vs before which was roll-yer-own system
based on SuSE 9.2 what a nightmare). I guess if you
google stuff about myth you see lots of problems when
things don't work, and you don't see much when things
work fine.
