Yeah, I love to play DVDs on my PowerMac. They look sharp and beautiful; it's like having a 1200p TV (yeah I know there is no such thing) hooked up to a high-quality video scalar/deinterlacer. The downside is, it's in a different room from my HT and therefore not connected to it; so all sound is in stereo. Pretty nice speakers, but still not towers and not 5.1.
I never put a TV tuner card in it. Are there HDTV tuner cards available? If there were such a thing, and you could use it to capture to the HDD, it would be like having a HDTV DVR. I might just have to move the mac into the HT room and make it a HTMac.
