I've got a mini set up on our HDTV for watching internet streamed stuff . . 
.but nothing for grabbing/recording things off of the TV. We've got Cox cable 
and although it appears that one could stream the output of the set top box 
through an EyeTV the vast majority of the channels are encrypted at least when 
I took a look at it 6-8 months ago. That means for most of the channels we 
watch we would have to have to  tune the cable box to the right channel . . 
.which makes it impossible to program or to record while  watching something 
else. I'll have to check again to see what channels are QAM.

If there's a good solution to this problem (i.e., get a real DVR using the Mac 
and not requiring another subscription to something or getting the DVR capable 
box from Cox) . . .I would love to hear it.

There are only three kinds of stress; your basic nuclear stress, cooking
