Actually, I've been using a MacBook Pro since late 2009, so I appreciate the advantages of a Mac. The desktop purchase signals the end of my PC purchases. With the Elgato device, can I watch programs on our TV, or is this strictly done via our hard drive? We have Time Warner Cable and a DVR receiver on our downstairs TV. Thanks for the assist.
