[QUOTE="drgrafix, post: 491538, member: 38559"] If you're interested in more HDTV and/or Digital TV than what is available with an antenna OTA from ABC, CBS, NBC, and PBS... there's some serious limitations. For instance, ESPN is a cable/satellite only provider so that means once everything goes digital, you'll need a Comcast or DTV set-top box to get digital or HD sportscenter or ESPN2. Same would be for NESN-HD, TNT-HD, SPEEDTV, and hundreds more digital channels. However, in the interim, the eyetv250 will give you analog TV from your current cable and OTA HD. I just read through some of the FAQs on Elgato's page and they point out strongly that the 500 or so encrypted digital channels cannot be accessed without a digital tuner. My guess is that Elgato and maybe Apple... will announce something similar to the ATI TV Wonder Digital Cable Tuner which is available right now for MS Vista Media PCs. After all, the cable companies aren't going to miss out on the income that could be had from the Mac community. [/QUOTE]
