Watch HDTV on your Mac

If you want to watch HDTV on your Mac, it’s a simple as plugging in the uber tiny USB Elgato EyeTV Hybrid. It can receive HDTV signals and standard definition TV signals - plus it has inputs for your camcorder, VCR, and game console. Although it uses the Macs processor to ‘make the pictures’ - I’ve seen one of these running on a low spec Mac mini with absolutely no glitching or stuttering. It’s almost enough to warrant the purchase of a Mac mini to use solely as an HDTV recorder.
