OK.. I have this older Blue & white G3 (+ G4) and I found a PCI card
in it that reads "WinTV" and NTSC are there any Macintosh drivers
for this card?
XTelevision or iTV are free/open source(sourceforge.net) items that work with
the TV cards on OS X. I have an ixMicro TurboTV which is related, but never
got it working under OS X. I think I may need a video card that supports
OpenGL, which my stock 9500 video card does not. I never got around to
swapping in this other video card, or trying that TV card in my Blue and White
G3, which does have a video card that supports OpenGL(Ibelieve).
When I want to DVR someday, I may buy new. I know I don't need a lot of
support, but some might be nice. The TurboTV card was a good deal when I
bought it. Unfortunately, it must have been too good of a deal, since they
subsequently went out of business.

I don't know what broadcast standards are used in the US but I use DVB-T
('Freeview' in the UK), and http://www.defyne.org/dvb/iTele.html works
fine with my Hauppauge WinTV Nova-T USB. It took me ages to get it
working because I didn't RTFM and realise I needed to download a
firmware for the box initially ;) If anything I think the software is
much better than the genuine software for the box under Windows, which
is a bloated pile of rubbish. If anything, the picture from my Mac, when
run into the VGA input of my TV (an LG 23" LCD) looks better than the
picture from my Telewest digital cable box which I have to pay money for
(mind you it has a lot more channels - it just that nothing good seems
to be on any of them) but I figure that's just because the Mac's doing
the interpolation of the picture rather than the TV (Since I can get
native 1280x768 on the TV over VGA), and the picture's going over VGA
rather than S-Video.
