[QUOTE="baggss, post: 267241, member: 6762"] Wouldn't it just be easier to get a DVR or a TIVO and use that to record? Then you could dump stuff to your Mac via a direct connection or via a DVD if desired. I don't really understand this desire to hook your Mac up to your TV or use it to record live vide from your TV. I also don't get the desite to play movies form you mac to your TV. HD movies take up a bunch of HDD space and are subject to the same computer breakdowns as any Mac/PC. Lose the drive, lose the contents. A DVD or HD-DVD at least gives you a better backup. Anyone want to explain the attraction to me? [/QUOTE]
