I recommend you buy an eyetv stick and PVR software bundle, or "The tube" stick and software bundle. You can buy eyetv products from wantitall but not sure if they're pal compatible.

I bought a hauppauge tuner which is mac compaible but only with the tube software, eyetv does not support it yet. This means I have to pay $40 for the PVR software which is why I recommend you buy a Mac kit bundled with the software, it works out cheaper because there is no free good PVR software for OSX.

Tv stick FOR a mac

Thanks Sputnick, trying to get info here is like pulling hen's teeth ! 99% of people think I'm mad. I see DVB is on trial here by our broadcasters Multichoice, Mnet, MTN and Vodacom. With my, still extremely limited knowledge it seems I am jumping the gun or should I get in now ? I have a satelite dish on the roof, wired to all rooms. Does that help me? Any more tidbits of info appreciated. Regards, Duncan
