Mac Mini Intel Duo Core - TV Card?

[The Dogfather]

Right pretty much decided to splash out on a Mac Mini having found out that it has a optical out which will allow me to connect it up to my Cinema Amp.

The question is can anyone recommend a good USB TV card type thingy, as I want to use the Mac as a PVR?

Yep, the USB TVMini by Elgato - on special offer just now

Hurry if you want the Miglia TVmini at that price, it is only till the 11th. Highly recommended, the software (latest version 2.1) is superb. It also integrates very well with Roxio Toast 7 for burning DVDs.

I should have added that I have no connection with the above offer - other than being a happy customer.

I think the other hardware product mentioned by KJ may be the Elgagto eyeTV for DTT. It uses the same software (EyeTV 2 by Elgato) as the Miglia TVmini hardware.
There are lots of different hardware products from Elgato - some for DTT some for analog. Firewire/USB2 choices etc.

So have you ordered one yet VB? - Let us know what you get and how it works out.
