I spent an hour yesterday and another hour this morning looking into this. You'd think it would be easier to find a reliable external HD with a FW800 interface...
I'm probably just going to build my own from an enclosure and 2TB HD from MemEx. External HD seems the logical way to go here, since I can now do everything I need to do directly on my TV. Just need to store the files afterward.
The only thing I'm concerned with is the quality of Netflix running in a browser plugin. It would be nice if they made a Netflix app and released it in the Mac app store. Mind you, now that I can usenet directly on my TV...
Edit: One of my favorite things so far is AirDisplay. I can actually extend the desktop of my MacBook Pro onto my TV, which makes doing homework so much nicer. I can watch an instructional video, or have the spec sheets and project files up on the TV while doing the work on my laptop. Cuts down the alt-gabbing quite a bit!
Last night, I had a spec sheet up on my iPad beside me, and the lecture video playing on the Mac mini (on the TV) while doing the work on my MacBook. I don't think I alt-tabbed once throughout the entire assignment.
