Cons Color on set not quite the same as on the monitor. Expensive.

Cons Had to manually find and assign QAM and HD channels
Recommended it? Yes

I have a iMac G5 (1MB RAM, 1.8Ghz processor) and wanted to watch televison while working on my computer. Didn't want to buy another TV so thought a Mac TV tuner would be less expensive.
