After I spend some thoughts today around what to do with a Mac Mini in my Home Theater, I finally decided not to buy one; it’s possibilities in terms of connections are limited and not suited to our set-up at home.
So, after some research, I came up with this list of stuff to buy:
- Universal Remote Control: Logitech Harmony 525 (seen CHF 119)
- DVB-C Receiver: TechniSat DigiCorder K2 (seen for CHF 542) – has a 80GB HDD and two tuners
And as soon as I am ready for some 5.1 theater sound (i. e.: As soon as I have some more money left), I will replace the current receiver and the current speakers with this:
- A/V Receiver: Denon AVR-2307 (seen for CHF 978)
- Speakers: Infinity Oreus (seen for CHF 1298 plus additionally CHF 298 for the stands)
I already drew a plan on how to cable everything. 
[...] As already blogged, I have rethought the set up of my home cinema. [...]
