    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.

I was thinking of getting an Elgato product to watch TV on my Mac and iPad, but based on what I've seen of EyeTV, I can only watch Cable TV if it's through a cable TV receiver, get get TV channels through the cable wire that are Clear QAM. From what I've read, Clear QAM is typically only local channels, and sometimes not even that.

Since I don't use a cable receiver (just the cable plugged into the TV) it doesn't seem like their products will let me watch all the cable channels. Can anyone out there confirm this or tell me anything else about Elgato products?
