NXT is at the heart of the next generation of the LEGO MINDSTORMS “toolset” and is designed for novice to expert robotics enthusiasts. The NXT microprocessor can be programmed to exhibit autonomous behavior using either a PC or a MAC. After building a robot, users create a program with easy-to-use, feature-rich LabVIEW software from National Instruments. You can program robots and actively interact with them during programming. The new system features an improved, intuitive, icon-based drag and drop environment for “building” programs; 18 building challenges with clear, step-by-step instructions help new users create robots ranging from humanoids and machinery to animals and vehicles. &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Read the whole story &lt;a

I mean they go through all the trouble giving it a remote, using a full screen front row experience, I don't see why they didn't build a tv tuner card into it, or at least allow for tv tuner support for &lt;a href="http://www.apple.com/macmini/frontrow.html"&gt;Front Row&lt;/a&gt;. It seems to be a competitor with the &lt;a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/mediacenter/default.mspx"&gt;Windows Media Center Edition&lt;/a&gt; PCs, but since it's lacking PVR capabilities it really falls short.
