Thanks for the software recommendations. I've been trying to do something like this for a while with a script and little app called cscreen (based on another post from here actually). I could never quite get Front Row to behave properly though.

On extra thing I was trying to do was use my wiimote to control Front Row using Darwin Remote. That part worked great. Darwin Remote allows you to map any key combination to the buttons so it is fully customizable. I could assign hotkeys to wiimote buttons to start programs. I didn't even have to have my mac in my living room because the wiimote uses bluetooth. I could even turn on my Wii (to activate the IR sensor bar) and use my wiimote as a mouse/pointer on my TV.

Can't wait to try this out with the new ScreenSpanner and iTheater

I use my mac mini as an Apple TV connected to via HDMI. I use my iPhone and RemoteBuddy to play music and movies. Since it's wi-fi, it works everywhere in the house. No range or line of site issues. Pretty dang cool.
