Another problem with this scenario is it introduces a generational loss of
video quality when capturing via an analog video capture card - almost as
bad as using an analog TV tuner card.  As Shay says, you also can't change
channels using software on the Mac or set up your recording schedules on the
Mac - you're still basically stuck with most of the disadvantages of STB
PVRs that I mentioned in my earlier email. I wouldn't really recommend it.
