Re: watching (analog) tv on the mac?
Many TV cable boxes have a pair of audio outputs RCA (left/right) audio outputs which you can then hook to anything that takes a standard line-in. I have mine connected to my home stereo which sounds much better than the little speakers in the TV. Actually, I should say that I used to have it hooked up that way as I just canceled my cable and will be giving web-only media access a whirl. I haven't actually turned the TV on for months so it was kind of a waste. CB John G.

Re: watching (analog) tv on the mac?
Hi! I have a TV tuner for my Windows PC, its a Leadtech HDTV2000 PCI card though I know that a USB version is available, not sure whether it would work with the Mac though but the point is that this tuner is world band compatible, meaning that it was specifically designed to work in many world-wide regions, just select your city and country upon install and away you go so I'm assuming that many other TV tuner packages available - and this one is certainly not the most expensive - will also do the same. Question though, why analogue TV, surely digital - if its available - would be the way to go with a clearer picture and the possibilities that surround-sound has to offer?

Re: watching (analog) tv on the mac?
There are no digital tv tuners available that work with the dvb-c provider that operates in my region. they use a special thing called irdeto2 and they use a decoder. I cant go into all that but the point is you can only use certain certified decoders or tvs with it, there are no decoders for this that work with the pc so if I want digital tv I would have to use some kind of relay system that relays the information of my home decoder.

Re: watching (analog) tv on the mac?
Okay next question, are you able to use software with this thing to record video on your Mac? if you can then I - along with many others I'm sure - would be most interested.

Re: watching (analog) tv on the mac?
I believe that's what the EyeTV software does: http://www.elgato.com/elgato/na/mainmenu/products/software/EyeTV3/product1.en.html and their eyeconnect lets you stream that media to other devices: http://www.elgato.com/elgato/na/mainmenu/products/software/EyeConnect.en.html CB Dane Trethowan wrote: Okay next question, are you able to use software with this thing to record video on your Mac? if you can then I - along with many others I'm sure - would be most interested.

Re: watching (analog) tv on the mac?
hmmm, I'm looking at the site now, doesn't seem to be a trial link or anything which is most helpful smile, I'm sure I've heard of this software before but there seems to be some doubt to its accessibility, I'll keep an eye on that one so thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Re: watching (analog) tv on the mac?
I have heard that the same software that works on Linux works on the Macintosh. I don't know if it is accessable. I at one point (about 4 years ago) was looking at a product called iTV that was able to convert analog TV signals into a USB stream and also included DVR abilities.

Re: watching (analog) tv on the mac?
Thanks Chris that seems very interesting. I also heard on the screenless switchers about the slingbox but that seems to be a few years old.

Re: watching (analog) tv on the mac?
I can't find the beginning of this thread and I can't give any info about watching TV on the Mac but for $5 you can buy a cable that allows you to connect a VCR, DVD player, or a digital converter box to the sound input jack of your Mac. I don't have a TV any more. I just have a converter box. But I don't want a picture, just sound. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.
