I am wondering on what tv application that will let me watch tv on my iMac.

My iMac is the 24" 2.4ghz with 2gb of ram.

I am wondering between getting the slimgbox solo or the elgato 250 plus.

For mysetup if I got the slimgbox. I have an hd verozon fios box in my basement and I would split an 100 Ethernet cable from my xbox to use on for xbox and the other to the slimgbox.

If I got the eyetv 250 plus I have a coax cable in my room.

The price difference on these is only $20 and the differences is:

Elgato can record tv but if I only gets cable chaneles to about 100.

The slimgbox solo will get me all the digital channels but can't record.

Basically since both of these system are close I am wondering whatever on is better on mac and what one will have better quality on my iMac.

Any recomendations please comment.
