The 17-inch screen of my MacBook Pro was crying out for me to be able to watch TV while working away. I had a Windows version of the Pinnacle PCTV HD USB tuner that I decided to see if it would work with the MacBook Pro. It obviously did as this video demonstration proves and I must say I am very impressed with the Pinnacle and watching/ recording TV on the MBP. I had to purchase the full version of EyeTV (by Elgato) that works with the Pinnacle since I didn’t have the Mac version but if you buy the Mac version you get it included. Take a look at how well this works for TV on a Mac. Apple sells a similar product by Elgato but I’ve seen some reliability issues reported on the web. I have not seen any problems with the Pinnacle. Enjoy the video.
