Same question here, on 2009 Macbook Pro on System Profiler under USB, I see 4 USB ports, only two physically usable on the left side of the laptop (two regular and two high-speed on profiler and all 4 already have devices connected; keyboard, HUB/bluetooth, iSightCamera, internalMemoryCardreader). The HRT defaults to HUB/bluetooth when I plug it into either USB and doesn't change when I change physical USB port connection. Any ideas if these MBPros just default to the best USB or how to change to one of the better ports? Thanks,

I have all of my library ripped to my Macbook Pro and am considering an Apple TV2 for streaming to HT for casual listening/renting movies. I also review HT equipment (speakers mainly) so for critical listening couldn't I just move my Macbook Pro next to the receiver and output a USB to HRT Streamer II (or similar M.F. V-link,etc.)? It only has USB, Firewire and mini-jack and I'm sceptical about the mini-jack to optical converters. Anyone have better ideas for this scenario...trying to do it on the cheap (or free).
