Hey everyone. I have been doing some searching on the forums and online, but have had some difficulty coming to a decision for what I want to do. Can someone please provide me with some feedback?
I was looking at a TV tuner either for my HTPC or iMac. Currently I have DirecTV. From my understanding, I believe I would have to run the cable into the tv tuner card instead of my DVR box. What I was hoping to do was allow my fiancee' to watch TV on our normal TV, and watch something different (Live) on my iMac or MBP. Would this be possible and if so, how?
I have been reading mainly about the Hauppauge for the HTPC and the EyeTV for iMac. Both machines are next to one another and also near the DirecTV tuner. On a side note, do you need something like say.. EyeTV 250 to use the EyeTV app for the iPhone (off topic, I know)? I didnt want to spend $5 on an app if I need the original EyeTV to use the app and Web 3G.
