Which Mac do you have?

I can watch cable TV on my powerbook via an eyeTV 200. It also has RCA jacks to enable me to hook it up to my VCR (haven't done it yet, VCR is on the other side of the room) at the same time. But I still need to have my PB powered up, but I can use it as a digital video recorder.

You cant use your Powerbook's screen when its off. How can however use the solution mentioned above to watch TV in a window or fullscreen while its on.
