Internet is required to use the programming guide, but you do not obtain "TV" over the internet.
You can use Cable(COAX) or S-Video or RCA inputs.

Select the one you are looking at and see more info....

Can EYETV bring a mac out of standby to start a recording?

I don't think you have to connect the tv cable to it. That way you'll only get over the air channels.

Yes, its just like having a TV. I have a Hybrid with my 24" iMac and it is perfect for TV.

Yes it can.
