Are there any TV tuners for the macbook pro?

try www.elgato.com for eyetv.. i hear they're excellent.

i'm actually getting one for school, too.


but if there is no cable at school how do you expect to use it?

lol good point, i was about to recommend the same thing.

good observation on the cable TV though. I think he means wireless tunerrs like rabbit ears or something. There aren't any that i know of.

Over the air-tuners...a littl hard to come by, but I think I found one. I think it's only for Windows, but try Artec. It's USB based, and about the size of a flash drive. Just attach an attenae via the coaxial cable, pop this baby in, ad you're ready to go. Best of all, it'll pull in HD, too. $89 with free shipping. I'll look into this more a little later.

You may like the Miglia TVMicro. It lets you hook up any coaxial or antenna.

I have a TV Micro by Miglia. I love this thing. Great picture. I can record for up to 3 hours each recording. It comes with a remote. You can download a guide for what it on, schedule recordings. Its Great. It plugs right into your usb port on the MacBook Pro and you plug a normal cable into it for TV reception.

ITS GREAT!
I got it for $100 at the apple store.

Hope this helps.

Hey, Im also looking to get this one to replace my tivo ($14/month). Can you transfer to dvds the programs you recorded? It will also get all the channels I have on my tv right, assuming I hook it up to the same cable?

What does this mean? Regarding the Artec T14A USB TV

"It includes Windows XP Media Center Edition drivers, but keep in mind, if you want to use that, you'll also need a separate analog TV tuner installed. It's $89 with free shipping. There must be a catch. This we gotta try. – Charlie White"
