Looks like an inexpensive way to capture OTA HDTV - does it work?
I'm thinking that HDTV will look nice on my 24" iMac :)

I've got this one for PC:

Works great! I carry it with me when I'm on trips. And actually it won't look as good as you think on your 24", because computer monitors are much higher res than HD. Mine looks pretty pimp when I play it back from my HP laptop via HDMI to my 61" Samsung DLP though. :)

ive never tried one...but ive heard great things about them. be warned capturing hd is like very heavy. disk space will be gone in no time. its like few gigs an hour. then the processor usage is high. should look good tho. i know a few people that do use one with a 24" imac....not new ones, but last edition core2duo

Cool - I may give it a try - their web site says 8 gig/hour of HD - got that covered...

just remember...its also pretty heavy processor. but heck id try it. id say it would likely work well tho. just dont expect to have a window of hd open and doing anything else.
let me know...im thinking 24" imac for home here soon, maybe christmas
