Does anyone run a video tuner/capture card for TV?

Just seeing if anyone uses a video tuner card on their mac. If so, what kind, and how well does it work? any software with that?

Yes We All Use EyeTV 500 and/or Hybrids

Yes We All Use EyeTV 500 and/or Hybrids. 500 is discontinued FW digital only. Hybrid is the current $150 analog/digital USB2 model. I use both simultaneously. They come with EyeTV 2.3.3 software that makes your Mac a Tivo.

Add an TV to your HDTV and you're in MacTV-Land Heaven.

Terratec Cingery XS - uses the EyeTV software which is really brilliant!

You can set it to record a TV channel too which is a great feature. The software features a great interface, easy to navigate and so on.

I'd look for something with EyeTV software featured with it.

Brilliant!

Thanks to both of you.
