I am trying to get "real live tv.com" to work on my imac. I have a new I mac 27". When I click on one of the channels, it just gives me a black screen. Anyone else had this problem? Am I missing a plug in? I have quick time installed.

The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.
Therefore to clarify:
- You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
- This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
- You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
- You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

All I can say is:
1) They claim to have tech support, I'd suggest contacting them as they state on their page it works for Mac
2) Most of these satellite TV -> pc things are scams - I'm not saying that real-live-tv is, but you know the saying... usually something that sounds to good to be true... (ie: 3500 channels for $49.95 one time fee)

I'd certainly recommend proceeding with caution on any site that wants your money and doesn't even work properly. To put it mildly, I've never heard of Satellite Direct being a Mac-friendly company.
But if you wish to press on, you probably need to install Flip4Mac WMV Player and Perian to get it to work properly.
