iMac TV

I just got a TV tuner/PVR for my iMac, a myTV.PVR. More pictures and screenshots of the interface can be found at the Build your own PVR Forums. The performance could be better but my iMac is on the low end, it barely meets the system requirements. But it lets me watch TV on my iMac which is all I really want it to do, anything else is a bonus.

    Is your TV tuner still working fine? I’m thinking about getting one too. Any bugs?

    It still works, although I don’t nave a need for it anymore. The performance was ok on the G3 iMac I had at the time of the the original post, it was considerably better on the G4 mini I have now. But the software was buggy and hard to use.

    If I was buying a basic TV tuner for the Mac today I’d probably buy a EyeTV 250.
