Joseph,
If you want to consider a mac only solution, you may want to consider formac

a $299 firewire tvr . They claim to be more robust than EyeTV

The options, as I see them:
2. EyeTV firewire PVR
+ Elgato works around some of the firewire video problems I have now
+ Want a second tuner? Buy a second firewire PVR thingy
+ No DRM crap, at all, extract whatever video I want and do what I want
with it afterward.
+ No DRM crap for HDTV if I act now(TM)
- The 200 does NTSC/cable/etc, the 500 does ATSC and digital, and all
of Comcast's digital channels are encrypted. So basically, the 500
would get me HDTV ONLY and the 200 has no HDTV support.
- These things sell for about $300 each, so I'd only be getting one
200.
- Keeps my mac a central machine that must remain online
- Remote control sold seperately
- CableCard EyeTV? hahahaha
