Okay, so I've been using Boxee on my TV for 2 weeks or so now and I just bought a new Mac mini (2 GHz, 2 GB RAM) to replace it as soon as my new Panasonic Plasma TV arrives -- is there anything different on the Mac than on the TV...?!

Anything I should consider...?! Problems I might run into...?! Things I should know...?!

Thanks in advance...! :)

Something to watch for is the macmini will be running OSX - at times you may want to leave boxee and surf web etc - be very careful about what is static on the screen as it will 'burn' into your plasma screen. Tip hide the dock and have a background which changes every few minutes - keep in mind the finder bar will become a permanent part of your new screen if you let it - best of luck

Yup, good advice, thanks...! I guess I'll have to watch out for that whenever I'm not in FrontRow or Boxee...and also set up the screensaver to kick in after a short period of time...
