Mac people can install the Developer Tools and use VirtaulDVHS or VirtualDVHS2 (the latter comes Universal) to record. I've been using a PowerBook as my HTPC for 2 years now.
You can use VirtualDHVS to play back to your firewire-enabled TV too, no problem.
However, HD Playback directly on the Mac (ie using VLC) requires an Intel just because the PPCs can't decode MPEG2 fast enough -- but even the PPCs can play back to a TV over firewire (since it's just dumping the HD stream).
