Virgin Media (Cable TV UK) Through a Mac?

[marknicholls]

Hey

I am thinking of changing my media setup and running with a mac instead of a Vista PC.

I have researched Elgato, but cannot find a device that will allow a cable tv box to run through a mac, can anyone let me know, is there such a device? (I can only see devices that allow Sky and freeview?)

Also, if there was, would the channels run through front row?

Many Thanks

And if you got it working you wouldn't be able to watch through front row - only throught the EyeTV application.
