I almost traded an in the box Airport Express for someone's EyeTV.

I really want to watch tv on either my PPC G4 PB 12" 1.5ghz or my PPC Mac Mini G4 1.5ghz. Is EyeTv the way to go? Or what is best? How do I record shows I want on my superdrives?

I have no idea about all this... wish the AppleTV was this sort of thing instead of whatever the heck it does...

Hey, I've got a practically new EyeTV 250 (http://elgato.com/index.php?file=products_eyetv250&PHPSESSID=56b0f0fabb332cc99ed37f48eb98bfc0). If you're unfamilar with it, it does hardware encoding and has various RCA/S-Video inputs. I took it out of the box once to see what the connections looked like and then put it back in the box, that was December. It comes with a TitanTV program that schedules and records movies to almost any format you want.

I'd like to get $130 for it. They still sell for $199 new at the Apple Store.
