will try a firewire dvb-s today on it.

tried, and works flawlessly.
The remote also works (after a reboot of windows LOL)
Timeshifting is also fine.

The only thing thats still open is that the drivers need an update still. Like the internal speaker is always on. All this info is on the apple FAQ about boot camp so be sure to read that.

The speaker is easily disconnected in the mini though, so it's not a showstopper if you want it now.
