Most of my films are from the internet, rapidshare, so i don't really like the way nitotv and that look but its good for the stuff that need dvd rips, ill convert them and have them looking good with great cover art on the standard apple interface, the ok stuff can be played using nitotv etc

No the Factory Restore option was only done in my case because I was having an issue and wanted to start over fresh to try and work out my problems with a "virgin" machine again.

Yeah, I think I've done that. Where about would I see my HD in NitoTV and Sapphire? Edit - Nevermind, got it! Thanks!

Thanks for the reply -- that's very illuminating (and I had had no luck even trying to find anywhere near that level of explanation anywhere). I don't think most people would use a MBP as a media center; that's why as I stated I'm trying the Mac Mini route. Not sure if that poses the same problems or not. As for Tiger, I already have a Tiger partition set up and have attempted ATV4Mac on that. I would imagine that if...
