Macbook Air (mid-2012) 11.6" with MacOSX 10.9.2
Dear all,

Hello! i'm using a Macbook Air (mid-2012) 11.6". I'm going to buy Gadmei TV Tuner, it is the most available brand in our country. is it possible to use this brand of tv tuner (USB) with Macbook air? OS is- MacOSX 10.9.2 (mavericks). Please suggest.

No official driver found for mac for Gadmei. is there any third-party driver solution for Gadmei USB TV Tuner card?

Regards.

I went to the Gadmei website...and as you mentioned...I see no info that would indicate that this USB TV Tuner would be Macintosh/Apple compatible.

Personally (to avoid headaches)...I would not try to use this card. Of course...maybe someone else has a different experience.

I would search the internet for a Macintosh compatible USB TV Tuner...something like one of these 5:

5 Great TV Tuners to Watch Live TV on Your Mac - ChrisWrites.com

Then see which one works best for you (cost + shipping).

The Driver here from MacUpdate, supports the Gadmei UTV310 Driver ~ VideoGlide.

If not, why not buy something that will work and easy to update like the Elgato TV Tuner ?? I use the EyeTV Diversity and works well.
