Replacing my Apple TV; some questions

I think it’s almost time to replace my Apple TV–it’s great for streaming audio, and Boxee is a nice touch, but it just doesn’t have the horsepower for things like streaming live baseball or Netflix. I’ve long thought I’d replace it with a Mac mini–one of the most underrated Macs ever, in my opinion–but I’ve got a couple of issues to investigate:

I’m also not ruling out a Boxee/Ubuntu combo, as I figure I could get some refurbished hardware to support that setup for not a whole lot of money.

If anyone happens to read this and has any insights, I’d love to hear them.
