[MBZ] TV tuner for Mac
Does anyone have any info on watching TV on a Mac? I know its done but that's all I know. I'd pay if need be but would prefer some free software. I'm hoping that hardware won't be necessary. I did a Google search and as usual was inundated with info. Johnny B. I Mac Therefore I am
Re: [MBZ] TV tuner for Mac
One more thing about that link for TV I provided -make sure you read the
Terms carefully - they have a strict no refund policy which always makes
me nervous. Also, check out the channel list - while they advertise 750
channels some are in Albania, Argentina, Germany, etc.
Anyway - just a warning -

I think I might have ended up at that website last night. Only a
couple of the channels worked. BTW I have not yet received your post
with the link.

You must get the TV data into the Mac in someway, whether it is a USB/Firewire dongle, or a full PCI card for a PowerMac Tower. You could use a VCR to do the tuning, and get a RCA/Analog to DV convertor. Those are pretty cheap, but then the Mac can't do scheduling and such to record when you aren't home. But you might turn the system off when you leave it anyway, so I don't know. One way or another the signal must get in the Mac. Anything that is software only is either an upgrade (Elgato EyeTV2 is their newest DVR package for their hardware) or expects you to have another piece of hardware it is compatible with . also, to further blow your mind and give you too many choices, check this out: http://www.slingmedia.com/ The SlingBox ... super cool device. It has the tuner and PVR software built into itself, then transmit shows across Ethernet to any networked computer. They do not *yet* have a Mac client, but they were at the conference in January so they are almost there. You can do something similar to this with a Linux/BSD/UNIX box with a TV Tuner card and VLC though . but both of these may be too much involvement for you if all you want is a few shows here and there to watch while you are surfing and emailing Banned. -- Knowledge is power...

FireWire probably the best/fastest choice. Thanks for the info overload I'll spend some QT with it after the race. Johnny B. I Mac Therefore I am
