andriusm Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Hi there, One question for you guys.Did anyone try to connect a Usb tv tuner to mac os x x86 leopard? I have installed mac os x leo and it works perfectly.I wonder is there any chance to get an usb tv tuner working, like Pinnacle nano stick 73e?Or something from a Avermedia tv tuners?

Cheers check eyetv's support list, i wanna get the Pinnacle 2001e, seems the best value for the money. Don't buy a pci card, they're all a PITA, bought one, useless... Only go for eyetv supported tuners Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/108721-usb-tv-tuner/#findComment-770952 Share on other sites More sharing options...
andriusm Posted June 4, 2008 Author Share Posted June 4, 2008 looks like Pinnacle PCTV Hybrid Pro Stick works with eyeTV on a mac.One question though: is eyeTV the only software for mac controlling a tv tuner?

sama7896 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 there is also itv, alchemy, itele. itv doesn't work on leopard. my advice, get the pinnacle, it's remote also works in front row ( or so did my apple store say). But be careful on reviews on the quality of the reception..

ZENER Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Hi all. I bought the Happauge HVR900 USB device to work with Leopard 10.5.3/EyeTV3.1 and it woks perfectly - recording and live TV pause as well all work fine.

andriusm Posted June 5, 2008 Author Share Posted June 5, 2008 what's the format of the cable tv ? if it is pal-b/d/g choose germany or malaysia. Can you post a link to the card you bought ? and is the remote working with other apps besides eyetv ? The link from pinnacle site: http://www.pinnaclesys.com/PublicSite/us/P...D+Pro+Stick.htm the link with a picture: http://bms.lt/lt/catalog/view/?id=23419 I guess its pal d, cause its eastern europe.I chose russia as an option, i 8 channels were found.But i think its because i use antena and the quality cannot be good.I'll try to connect somehow a cable tv later in the evening.I hope it will be better situation as it is at the moment. Edit: and should tv tuner recognize all channels that i can watch on TV?or i have again choose a region to scan for channels? because it doesn't make sense to scan again once cable is connected.Am i right? And remote works only with EyeTV, tried front row but no success:( Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/108721-usb-tv-tuner/#findComment-771990 Share on other sites More sharing options...
