Alex, I don't know that there is ANY advantage of having T.V. on your computer other than connivence or necessity for those that don't have the room for a T.V., or the geek factor of showing folks T.V. along side your other programs. With EyeTV you can opt to have the show made into a QuickTime movie, which you could then send to another person, collect a series and store offline, etc. etc. Of course you could take the show and put it into iLife or Final Cut Pro and work with various clips to remove unwanted material, or take a section and include in your home movie (careful of copyright infringement).
I guess it depends how you intend to use the info. as to which Santa should send your way. John R.
