Record Digital Telly on your Mac

Just found this product called the eyetv 400 which is essentially a box for getting digital terrestrial TV signals into your mac. The software that comes with it enables you to do most all those things you wanted to do with a TVR except it only recieves digital terrestrial. Downside is you have to watch it on your mac, but I'm sure there's ways to plug the Mac into the television again.

It'd be good if you could decode cable and other signals on it, but it doesn't do that... yet. I wonder how long it will be before they can work out a legal loophole or negotiate a deal with the commercial media pirhanas providers. Now that'd be a coup for the consumer.
