Once you load their software you’ll have access to your guide and even the ability to have your Mac remote control your set-top box via the IR emitter. However, with a one time purchase of an EyeTV you can connect this small box to your cable/satellite receiver and then connect it to your Mac via USB (it’s bus powered, so no power brick). You still need a cable or satellite box to decode the signals from your provider. With the EyeTV HD you can use your Mac as the HD DVR. This also means that in order to record those shows (especially in HD) that you either need to rent their DVR (not a fan of their boxes) or buy a TiVo. Although there was probably no technical reason to cut it, they cut it and now in order to get cable in my area you need a set-top box to decode the digital signals they send. This was one of the things they cut in the move to “Digital” TV. For example, Comcast in my area no longer broadcasts “basic” cable without a box. However, since those days a lot has changed in the world of TV.

I’ve used Elgato products in the past to simply bring in cable TV to an iMac and have “TV” playing in a window as I worked.

For this Elgato has got you covered with their EyeTV HD.

However, I recognize that many of you don’t want the costs associated with TiVo, but you do want to be able to record your shows in HD and transfer them to your iOS and other mobile devices. As many of you already know I’m a fan of DVRs in particular TiVo HD and Premiere boxes.
