Well, I've had it with our PC and am purchasing an iMac. I'd like to be able

that there isn't a card slot, rather, they offered me a device called the El

I would just ask them whether you can use the digital tuner in a tv by
itself with their service or if they require a separate box. If you
start asking about USB tv tuners on a mac they will probably go down a

The developers are not just making the app free, but the source code
