I tried NBC out. Unbox via Windows XP via Parallels on Macbook Pro followed by fair4umv = OS X Quicktime playable files. Burned to DVD using Toast and watched on TV. Not something I want to do every day. I just wanted to watch a few of the prerelease shows. I use Mythtv and prefer commercial free tv anytime I want. I have 2 OTA HD tuners and one for Dish.
