Hi, I use eyetv, which from what I can gather is the only software available. I think there used to be another one, but I can't remember it's name, and can't find it anyway. EyeTV is from Elgato systems, and is almost completely inaccessible. You can watch live TV, and you can with some mucking around set up the preferences etc, but you can't use the guide, and therefore you can't record shows easily. You can however use the EyeTV app for IOS, which connects to your mac, and record shows that way, but not a full series only individual episodes--very annoying!
We've used it here for a year or so, and it seems to be OK, if you can live with the limitations. The good thing is that if you can record something, the files are playable from finder. And furthermore if you "show package contents" on one of the files, you can have it export to .m4v and play it with iTunes, or vlc. Vaughn.
