actually the tv tuner I have integrates with front row, just press the menu key on the remote twice quickly and I get an eyetv menu which works fine for controlling it remotely...

I couldn't tell you which model it is off the top of my head, but it came with eyetv and i bought it in the apple store for not a huge amount of money...

Just make sure you get Perian and Flip4Mac.. that'll handle nearly all file type, and for everything else there's VLC

But that doesn't actually bring up the FR interface. You can use the remote to control EyeTV but it's not exactly integrated into FR.

it brings up a separate front row like menu, does me fine, can't see why not actually being front row would matter...
