Advice - Freeview TV on a Mac

[JCL]

Hi all,

looking to buy an adapter to watch Freeview on my iMac.
Any recommendations?

Would also want to use it on the move with Macbook Pro.

Thanks for any advice!

Apple shop in Brighton has a few models on display. Added bonus is if you are not happy you get a 14 day money back guarantee.

I bought the Eye TV version from them. It worked fine but I wasn't using it as much as I thought, so returned it.

Eye TV are the well regarded range, I believe - http://www.elgato.com/elgato/int/mainmenu/products/tv-tuners.en.html

However, if you have internet connectivity, which you will on your iMac I imagine, why not just use TVCatchup.

thanks both.

Bozza - is it just live TV you watch on TVCatchup, or can you watch older programs?

Live. But if you want older, use iPlayer et al.

Or do as we do, use Get iPlayer Automator to download content to watch at your leisure.
