Hello, I have recently bought an ATI TV Wonder 600 USB TV Tuner at a garage sale and would like to use it with my power pc mac. Is that possible? If so, are there drivers or applications to make it work?

Thanks

Frankly - No. ATI has not developed the capture drivers for any of their tuners to work on a Mac but for one that I'm aware of. And that one is a Mac specific product so it probably has different firmware than the windows counterpart.

I believe this one to be their first and only Mac compatible tuner.

It might do if it's just one of the common OEM tv chipsets rebadged under ATi's brand.

You could check the USB ID under System profiler and see if it matches any of the chips supported by The Tube:

Are there any 3rd party drivers?
