Good point - I'm not sure if you get iDVD if you don't buy the
superdrive version. If not, you will still be able to write a data DVD
image using Disk Image, but you won't be able to build non-data DVD
images (ie that will play back in a DVD player). However, both come with
iLife 05, and iDVD is part of iLife...

I think MythTV has been ported. Also check out Eye TV...

You can upgrade later, but there is an additional cost involved in
getting the upgrade fitted (dealer fit only I think).
