lessew Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 So, my girlfriend got a virus on her Windows box, and I wanted to install OSX on it. It's a Dell 5150, and according to the HCL, should work fine. However, one thing that's extremely important to her is being able to record her TV shows. She has a PCI TV tuner. (don't remember what it is, and I'm not there atm, so I can't tell the specs yet) I was thinking of installing EyeTV. EyeTV only lists USB tuners on their site. Would it work with a PCI TV tuner? Is there another option if not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headrush69 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 The majority of PCI based TV cards don't work in OS X. Not saying yours won't, but without an exact model its impossible for anyone to say with any certainty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: This is the one she's got. (ATI Rio 550 PCI-E TV Card) Anyone have one working/installed? I'm guessing not, but wouldn't mind hearing if anyone has hacked it to work.
