When I run a slideshow in Front Row it shows the slide menu at the bottom and I can't find how to remove this. I've been into iPhoto but there is no general setting for this. You can turn it on and off for an individal slideshow - but if I run a slideshow with it off in front row, the menu still shows. Can anyone help?

That is a drag. And as far as I can tell Front Row 1.0 doesn't appear to be plug-in-able, which more or less knocks out the possibility of that happening for at least 6 months I would guess. I mean, I personally see myself using this on a mac mini, plugged into a TV for the monitor, which would more or less avoid the tv control issue, but Apple isn't technically making it available for their headless wonder. And even if they did, not incorporating elgato's software negates the cool pvr aspect that it brings. Unless Apple has something up their sleeve. I agree on the TV tuner front. That is a drag.

I guess they don't make the DMR anymore. You can use <a href="http://keyspan.com/products/usb/urm17a/" rel="nofollow">this one</a> instead. Oh. I guess they don’t make the DMR anymore.
