Ok, I'm new here, and I would really appreciate it if you all might take a look and see what you think.
So, I have an iBook G4, and I am going back to university in January. I would like to set up an larger monitor. That's not that real question though, I would like to know if I can get a monitor that is compatable with my little iBook and that has a TV tuner as well. I found a 21" HP HDTV-Ready monitior, but would I have to buy a tuner as well with that? I mean is this notion even possible? I don't know, I have a lot to learn. What wires/cables would I need to purchase if It could be done, and are their any recomended brand of tuners that people like?
Thanks for your input!

Well, you could get a 21" monitor, then buy an external TV tuner for your Mac that would allow you to record TV onto your hard disk.

Miglia Products.

EyeTV makes some more stuff, but I don't have any experience with them...
