There are no digital tv tuners available that work with the dvb-c provider that
operates in my region. they use a special thing called irdeto2 and they use a
decoder. I cant go into all that but the point is you can only use certain
certified decoders or tvs with it, there are no decoders for this that work
with the pc so if I want digital tv I would have to use some kind of relay
system that relays the information of my home decoder.

Hi!
I have a TV tuner for my Windows PC, its a Leadtech HDTV2000 PCI card though
I know that a USB version is available, not sure whether it would work with the
Mac though but the point is that this tuner is "world band compatible", meaning
that it was specifically designed to work in many world-wide regions, just
select your city and country upon install and away you go so I'm assuming that
many other TV tuner packages available - and this one is certainly not the most
expensive - will also do the same. Question though, why analogue TV, surely
digital - if its available - would be the way to go with a clearer picture and
the possibilities that surround-sound has to offer?
I don't want to stray off-topic so I'll leave the discussion here <smile>.

I would like to think that that the HD standards are the same in different
countries now so we don't have the NTSC v. PAL issues. That said, I thought
this little USB TV tuner seemed interesting:

Not sure if that's the kind of thing you were looking for.

Hello everyone, I wonder if it is possible to use some kind of tv card
with the mac so that you can use it as a tv tuner? I know I could use something
like slingbox to connect my existing digital tv receiver and use it on the
internet but I am not sure if it is still available, available in europe or
even works with my humac dvb-c hd receiver or my linksys router.
Any information would be welcome.
