Set-up

Disconnecting the old equipment and connecting the mini took longer than I thought, making me a little bit impatient when finally starting the Mac.

During initial set-up the first problem surfaced: the wireless media keyboard, an Ione Scorpius P20 media keyboard, didn’t work. This is an initial set-up glitch, I thought. Perhaps the drivers are not loaded yet? Luckily I have an Apple USB-keyboard and mouse so I just plugged them in.

The rest of the set-up and installation went just fine as it usually does on a Mac and the box was tuck into the correct place and up and running in an hour or so. All fine this far. The mini is really quiet. In practice you don’t hear a sound from it. EyeTV works well, channel switching is fast and generally all TV-related features seem to work.

Success!
