Hi, I recently bought a Powerbook to replace my PC and I'm still not used to it, so sorry if I sound dumb :D
I've been looking at digital TV tuners for it and I found the EyeTV 400/410 but this is £240!! Which is a lot of money if youve just shelled out close to two grand on the computer itself. I was wondering, since normal Freeview Digital TV Recievers can come as little as £40, would I be able to use one of these with my PowerBook? I know that if this is possible, what other equipment would I need, and do you reckon it will be cheaper or more expensive with this extra equipment?
Thanks for helping me so much :D
Thomas

I think you will find all the ports are output only..........not input on the laptop.
