I am thinking of getting either an eyetv250 plus or an hd homerun to connect either my imac with the eyetv or my tv with the homerun and use the eyetv software on my mac. My main question is will I be able to get channels 2-62 on the eyetv or homerun just like i do when i screw the coax cable into my tv?...im having a hard time understanding all the encryption/qam talk....basically, now when I screw the coax into the tv i get channels 2-62 and i want that to be the same when i screw it in to whichever tuner i go with....my thinking is that as long as whatever device i get has a digital tuner it should function no differently than the tuner built into my tv...correct me if i am wrong...sorry for the long post and thanks for any help!
