I was able to get an extended desktop with a second display (Sony 40" XBR4 ) connected to my early 2008 24" iMac. This was done completely without any hassle by just connecting the computer to the Sony using a Mini-DVI-to-VGA adapter.

However, I cannot find anything under System Preference that would enable me to run Apple's Front Row on the second display using the remote. Can this be done? How?
(I can run iMovie or a QT clip by dragging the application window into the large second display, and the computer remembers its location from then on. But for Front Row?)

There is no easy way to do it that I know of (ie built in way). Here is a link to an applescript that users say works. I have not tested it so please be warned.

Thanks speedy QuickSilver.
Has anyone actually tried TV Row (from the link above) and noted whether it works well or not? On TV Row site it stated "Warning do not use if you don’t have a second display (TV) connected to your mac!" Once installed, if I do not turn my TV on and simply use my iMac it should not be a problem. Right?
