TV on my iMac
Do you guys have a suggestion for the best piece of hardware to get my cable signal available for viewing on my iMac desktop?
I've seen a couple of these things in stores. The Coax cable feeds in and it converts to a format for watching on your desktop. I'm wondering how that works with cable, scrambled channels, and/or HD channels.
Anyone tried this?

Yep! Last time I saw my buddy using his, he was watching live TV in the office. He was tuned into one of his TV's at home.
The catch is that you control that TV from Slingbox. So only one person can use that TV at a time.

Just reading about the slingbox. That seems sweet. I can't believe it requires a physical wire to connect to the network though. That is LAME. No wi-fi?

If you need wireless on a slingbox, just use one of these.
