I already have the eye tv software and am considering buying this tv tuner: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000J1CCGA

Would it work with my macbook? My friend has eye tv and it is one of the options but I wasn't sure! Thanks!

No. It's a WinTV device, requires windows.

So what would be the cheapest usb tv tuner that I could purchase for my macbook that would still be eye tv compatible? Thanks.

Select the EyeTV preferences and choose Devices. The two popups will help you find the devices that it apparently supports. I would buy locally so you can take back item that don't work.

Actually, I picked up the Pinnacle Pro HD Stick (model 800e) and it's been a great device, no compatibility issues at all, and the video quality from eyeTV is great. I got the stick at Best Buy a few months back for $59.

Cheers!
