Then there were none. Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I have an old Win-tv HVR 900 that id like to use with osx, but there is no software out there for me to try it with, so can anyone recommend me any free software that does this?

~pcwiz Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I think Freevo looks good: http://freevo.sourceforge.net/ Its free OS X home media center software that supports TV tuners.

Headrush69 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 It's worth a try As long as you don't mind cluttering up your system with a ton of Linux packages that might not be useful. Being that Freevo probably uses the v4l2 libraries, which also rely on kernel level drivers for each card, I highly doubt it would be worth that hassle. (Especially for the inexperienced) Probably easier to bite the bullet and save your $$$ and buy Eye TV since it supports that card already: http://www.elgato.com/elgato/na/mainmenu/p...roduct3.en.html Or obtain it from other means if you do those type things.
