Although streaming sites such as Hulu, Netflix, iTunes and Amazon video have become the dominant way to stream video content on Mac, using a TV tuner is still the only way to pick up free-to-air and over-the-air (OTA) ATSC TV channels in the USA and digital TV DVT-B digital channels in Europe.

Also from Geniatech, the MyGica USB2.0 ATSC TV Tuner is a dual TV tuner which allows you to watch one channel while recording another, have picture-in-picture or watch two different digital channels (ATSC/QAM) at the same time.
To complicate things further, the TV tuner market has become more complex over the past few years with different broadcasting technologies emerging, TV tuners being restricted to specific countries and regions and industry leader ElGato dropping support for TV tuners.
Another remarkable feature is, EyeTV allows you to export your recordings to iTunes for automatic playback on your iDevices. You can also share your recordings with other Mac computers on your local network. In a nutshell, Elgato TV tuners are fantastic.
SiliconDust is one of the best TV tuners for Mac offering many features. One unique feature is, SiliconDust allows you to pause a record on one device and resume it on a different one and in a separate room. With this beauty, you can enjoy TV shows simultaneously on multiple devices.
This is a unique type of TV tuner. It started as a project back in 2002 to watch TV broadcasts on computers like Mac and Windows. Along the line, they were bought out by Google, who then made the program an open-source you can get from GitHub.
Step 4: Turn on your computer. Most times, your Mac would indicate that a new device has been added to it. If your TV tuner comes with a CD ROM for installing its software, insert it and run installations. Most may need you to download the software online.
If you have cable TV (ClearQAM) at home: get the best out of it and receive the available digital HD channels on your Mac, at no additional cost. All of this power is available in an ultra compact designed form factor. The TV for Mac HD mini Stick includes a USB 2.0 powered TV tuner with integrated infrared (IR) receiver and a mini-remote control. This diminutive combination allows you to take control of all of your digital TV choices from a distance in comfort. A high-gain telescopic antenna is included, too.
EyeTV USB-based Mac TV tuner offers a suite of features to make both watching and recording live TV easy. Which is a great choice for cord cutters. Available for any Mac and Windows laptop or desktop.
If you still enjoy watching live, over-the-air television, then a TV tuner is what you need to be able to do so on your Mac. Unfortunately, there are only a few choices out there, but this is still a great way to get free programming right at your fingertips.
With a quality TV tuner, you will be able to get multiple over-the-air channels that you can watch on your computer for free. A couple of these have USB interfaces that you plug directly into your computer, others connect to your home network and let you connect wirelessly.
This is a stand-alone TV tuner that will pick up over-the-air television and stream it on your home network either through your ethernet cable or wirelessly. The nice thing about this one is that it will not only allow you to watch TV on your Mac but on all the other devices in your home.
Keep in mind that most all of these tuners do not include an antenna. So that is another thing you may need to invest in. The type, size, and quality will depend on what kind of reception you get in your area.
Most of these devices, especially the USB type do not provide any type of cable to connect to your antenna. If your antenna does not come with one or needs some type of converter you may need to purchase one separately to ensure you can connect your antenna to the tuner.
Elgato seems to make most of the TV tuners available for the Mac, and if you want to watch digital terrestrial TV (known as DVB-T), analogue TV and cable TV (DVB-C) plus FM radio, then the EyeTV Hybrid might just fulfil your needs. The tuner itself is a compact size that fits into a spare USB slot on your Mac, and the other end has a full-sized coaxial socket to connect to your TV aerial feed. It also comes with the EyeTV software, which contains a program guide and can also record programmes to disk for later viewing.
This means that any computer (or iOS device such as iPads and iPhones, using the EyeTV app) within WiFi range can watch TV without needing separate USB dongles for each machine. Additionally, it has a dual tuner so that two people can watch different programmes at the same time. As an all-in-one TV solution that allows several people to watch TV all around the house, the EyeTV box is pretty hard to beat.
If you do have cable service (and your cable provider uses CableCARD), though, you can still make use of a DVR tuner that supports CableCARD to let you view unencrypted/unprotected/DRM-free content! (Be aware that support for unencrypted channels can vary widely by cable provider and even by location within the same provider.)
The following DVR tuner devices are supported in regions where signals use the DVB-T, DVB-T2, or DVB-C formats, such as Europe, Australia, Africa, and Asia. This refers to compatibility with the system running Plex Media Server.
Software Defined Radios are all the rage these days, and with a cheap USB digital tv tuner card with the RTL2838 chipset, its very easy. My dongle cost $10.99 and took a week to arrive from Hong Kong via this eBay seller. You can find these dongles cheaper, I choose this seller as a friend had used them before me and the device arrived promptly. The device is a simple usb stick, some PC software for the tv tuner on a mini CD and a mag antenna with a MCX connector. This is a quick post to show my first toe into the SDR world, using TV Tuner SDR on a Mac and will write more when I undertake further exploration.
USB TV tuners connects an antenna directly to your computer instead of to a television. The coaxial cable hooks up to one side of the tuner, while the USB side is plugged into a port in your computer.
Usually, these USB TV tuners come with software with DVR functionality, allowing you to record shows and even watch one show while recording another. Some support QAM service, which brings in unencrypted cable TV channels provided by some cable companies.
At the end of the day, a USB tuner doesn't really make sense for me, mostly because I want both broadcast and a lot of top cable channels. I'm fine paying for a live TV service like Sling, because it has all the content and functionality I need at a much lower price than my old cable bill. Even if I wanted to pare down all the way to locals only, having a MacBook essentially means I have just one hardware choice.

I was really surprised how many channels the included antenna found when I did my initial scan in my basement. Of course, when I did a second scan with the tuner connected to my 30 foot TV tower, it found quite a few more. The moral of the story is that the number of channels that this tuner can find is entirely dependent on your location.
All three versions plug into a network via 100Mbps ethernet and have a coaxial connection for an internal or external ATSC antenna, although each can also be used with subscription cable TV, from which it can handle Clear QAM (unencrypted cable) signals. When a networked app or device connects to one of the tuners, the hardware marks it as in use. You can attach multiple HDHomeRun boxes to a network if you need more than two simultaneous TV tuners.
SichboPVR is a popular personal video recorder that works with most DVB Terrestrial, Cable and Satellite tuner cards and USB sticks for watching and recording live TV on your Windows or Linux computer.
Throw as many TV tuners at it as you dare. SichboPVR will automatically use whatever's plugged in without having to be asked. It will assign recordings to available hardware and adapt on-the-fly as tuners are inserted or removed from the system.
Dude, you are out of date with those requirements. Not even sure if Dell or HP sell anything that stripped down anymore.For what you want just go with whatever deal you can find from any of the big PC assembly line companies. With Windows Vista I'd suggest a min of 2 GB memory. Get the upgraded version with Windows Media Center and add the TV tuner and you'll have everything you need. Recently bought a Dell for about $600 for similar home use needs. That price included the 22" flat panel wide screen, TV tuner & upgraded Windows and memory. For those prices who cares if it's the greatest quality...I can afford to replace it every other year. Do google searches for coupon codes. Enjoy.
Let me make some thing clear so not to confuse anybody:what i meant by minimum requirements was at least it should be that; not i want to buy the exact minimum requirements. so i didn't know the minimum req. of mine is out of date because i didn't buy a desktop pc in 6 years. I am only looking for brand new desktop pc not any laptop. Also what i meant by watching it on TV instead of laptop was not having a TV tuner so i can watch it on my PC, but watch all the dowloaded videos i have saved on my hard drive and watching it on Tv by connecting tv to pc (like one of the cables you get to connect dvd to tv or something similar to it that i want in a PC which is a MUST) And i don't want any vista editions because of many reports on the internet of having bugs/problems etc, so i will settle for any windox xp edition (or should you think i should get linux OS type PC: will that work for my needs?) I won't be doing much business with it (like use microsoft word) on ebay just list some items normally, so that shouldn't be any concern of what pc i want to buy (sorry for that). so with this conclusion, I think I should get a pc within price range of $700 to $1100 that has at least these requirments: 1 gb ram, cd-rom (i don't care about cd-dvd combo or any of the kind: if its included thats fine), High Definition 7.1 Sound (is their something better then this), 500 mb memory, 80 gb, last for more then 1 year, and something that connects tv to a pc (A MUST!). The real reason i want to buy a brand new PC and not a laptop is because i don't want to waste time having the laptop power on and off, will have the privilage to use a pc anytime and watch videos saved on my hard drive on a tv by connecting to it from my pc. (sorry to sound as if i am explaining it again)So from the above notes, do you have any specific suggestion of PCs i should get and just to let you know i will be buying only with a credit card. 2ff7e9595c
