We just purchased an IMac and heard we could get an adapter to watch TV...any recommendations? We are getting the 24in so thought it would be a good screen to watch TV.

Try eyetv. I heard those are pretty good, even though i dont own myself.

The Elgato EyeTV Hybrid (http://www.elgato.com/index.php?file=products_eyetvhybridna) works great.

This should be what your looking for:

eyeTV 250 (http://www.elgato.com/index.php?file=products_eyetv250&PHPSESSID=59baf2c9bc5c54d41489ab1f901b9aef)

EDIT: The eyeTV Hybrid may be better and a bit cheaper, and that is here (http://www.elgato.com/index.php?file=products_eyetvhybridna&PHPSESSID=59baf2c9bc5c54d41489ab1f901b9aef).

Go with the eyetv hybrid, you have enough processing power to encode the video, the eyetv 250 encodes it for you, which puts less strain on your processor. I use a hybrid with my mini and it works great, you can get OTA HD signals too

What's the Hybrid like for, say, hooking up a Wii?
I've seen people use it for that on Flickr.

Do all iPhones list browser information when people post? I find that lots of those posts have the info on them.
