At a special press event Apple unveiled several new products today. They updated the entire iMac line, equipping them with 1.9 to 2.1 Ghz G5 processors, iPod-like 6-button remote control, built-in iSight and thinner enclosures. Apple also introduced new iPods, capable of playing 320x240 MPEG4/H.264 video, and it has a video-OUT. iTunes 6 is available now, and already there are 2000 music videos available in the iTMS. You will also be able to buy TV shows from the iTMS. Update: Sad news for the fans of the original CRT iMac: it seems that the eMac has been phased out. It is no longer available on the Apple Store website.

Go to elgato's website to find the right tuner for you. If you have a standard NTSC analog source, you can always get the Plextor ConvertX for mac. Its about 200 bucks and includes hardware encoding (to MPEG 1,2,4 +Divx) and EyeTV, which works with the TitanTV for automatic scheduling.
Hopefully these TV tuners will soon include H.264 support, as its evident that there is going to be a huge demand for that now.
The new macs will automatically support all projectors and Large screen TVs with little setup/adjustments required. I recommend a projector if you have the wall space.
Of course this can all be done with a mac mini as well, except for the new iMac exclusive app and remote. We'll see if those cross over soon.
