HDTV tuner for Macs from Elgato

By Kevin C. Tofel

We don't want to be accused of being totally brainwashed Microsofties, so here's one for the Mac crowd. Want to add an external DTV tuner to your Macintosh and catch some high-definition television? We got ya covered with the EyeTV 500 from Elgado for about $299 after a rebate.

The EyeTV 500 can handle ATSC signals via over-the-air or non-encrypted QAM from Cable, so you've got some great options for your programming. The external device connects to your Mac via Firewire and records your high-def in MPEG-2 format. Hey, you even get electronic programming guide information with TitanTV integration. How 'bout them Apples?
