  • no TV Tuner Card? bizarre!

  • justin

    what about no surround sound? if that can do 5.1+ over HDMI i’ll buy one instantly. but i have a feeling it cant. which means no mini htpc for me.

  • George

    Why no 5.1 or HD audio? 2.1 is unacceptable on ANY current PC system, especially one designed for HTPC use.

  • PinballLes

    Looks pretty sweet to me. Cannot wait to see pricing. Was planning to buy a mac mini for my tv, but I think I’ll hold out and wait for ZinoHD pricing details.

    BYO USB TV tuner and this seems like it will be an awesome DVR / media centre.
