Hey all,



I'm looking for a usb tv-tuner that I can use with both Mac and WindowsXP, any help appreciated. If not, I'd also appreciate feedback on your favorite Mac tuner. Thanks!

    I just got the Plextor TV tuner today and it uses USB 2.0. If you buy the Mac version it comes with the EyeTV software and you can then purchase the Windows software for it later. I've only had an hour to play with it so I can't give you a full review, I got it through MacMall for about $200 before shipping + tax and the normal MSRP is around $230 I believe.

    Ebay.



    Do not get a USB 1.0 tuner!!!!!!!!!!! There isn't enough bandwidth on USB 1 to carry the picture smoothly. USB2 or firewire is what you need
