TV on the Power Mac's

[manitoubalck]

I have a TV card on my AMD based system so I can watch TV, Listen to the Radio and import analogue video formats, but I'm wondering if a PCI TV card is available for the PowerMac's (G4/5). Or would I have to buy the "All-in-Wonder" model of the Ati graphics cards?

Why not a Formac DV/TV? For $400 you get the ability to take in S-Video as DV and watch TV on your Mac.

Having noted in many of your previous posts that you extoll the virtues of PC v Mac and that you do not own a mac currently, with no plans to do so.


Are you not, just trolling?

There are many solutions. USB, FireWire, and PCI. AlchemyTV (http://miglia.com/products/video/alchemytv/index.html) (formerly Televio) is the newest PCI offering that has, so far, received pretty good reviews. XLR8YourMac (http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/OSX/os_x_tv_tuner_drivers.html#storytop) has some good info on it and others. Also, TiVo has a home media option that's pretty good for a small network. Not as cheap, but good quality and lots of features. No All-In-Wonder, but blame ATI for that.

Simple forum search will yield similar results. Lots of info. ;)
