Hi All
We recently purchased an iMac and we would like to watch TV on it. We have a Scientific Atlantic Explorer 8300HDC Cable box from Comcast and have connected that to the iMac via a firewire cable.
We installed the FirewireSDK25 and the AVCBrowser and the software is detecting the cable box. However when the VLC is launched we are unable to see any TV.
I have spent a lot of time Googling and have tried iRecord, AVCVidCaps, VirtualDVHS etc. but no luck.
I know there are applications like EyeTV etc but was hoping to find freeware if possible.
Any help or pointers are greatly appreciated.
Thanks
