I've been using an EyeTV Hybrid with my MacBook to watch and record
broadcast TV. It works quite well, simply recording the raw digital TV
(MPEG-2?) stream and displaying it. It can also translate the TV format
to several formats, but Toast (~$80) is needed to record in the DVD
format used by most players. Picture quality is much better than the
Comcast basic cable that I subscribed to when local interference made
analogue TV unusable, or my old Panasonic DVD recorder.
Unlicensed 'white space' Wifi will probably kill broadcast TV here in
the next few years, so it's not something to invest a lot of money in,
but EyeTV is a very good interim solution.
