Yes the graphics card is a bit concerning. If you want a tuner you can buy a EyeTV 500 from Elgato. Personally I don't care about it. I would prefer to have downloadable content but I guess we will have to wait for the real Video Ipod for that. I am predicting April 1st 2006.
I decided to hold off till I saw one in action. The MacBook Pro can handle HDTV no problem so the cheaper Macmini may be able to handle it too. I am going to try to demo some H.264 HD content at the Apple store before making my purchase. The faster version is a little too expensive for a HTPC, at least for me since I already have a MCE box.
