Ok, heres the deal: I have an Ati Theater 550 Card kicking out to a 20" LG 204WT (the new hotness) along with 5.1 surround. This is all brought together with the beauty that is MCE 2005. I show my friends and they're wow'ed.
My friend who owns a mac wants to do the same thing for her mac laptop. Being a straight PC guy, I'm fresh out of suggestions as to what tuner to use or software to recommend. I took looksy around this forum and found recommendations for the eyeTV hybrid as well as Hauppauge's Eskape Labs myTV.PVR. Are there any other suggestions for complete Mac solutions (hardware and software) that measure up to the ease and functionality of MCE along with the relatively simple learning curve involved in using the app? I'm thinking she might want to have the ability to record shows as well.
To my knowledge she has a powerbook G4 and an iBook (I know she has two laptops). Somewhere, I remember seeing a screen shot of an Apple 10 foot UI app but I don't know how close that is to completion. Help me out here I'm trying to save the day!
