FTA Mac Solutions

[N3KTH]

Anyone know of a FTA system that may be available for the Mac? I enjoy my FTA system on my TV and would like to try computer based FTA, but thought of going back to a PC after years of virus free interest is not an option..

I haven't seen anything but it doesn't hurt ot ask..

We developed a Mac driver for DVBS cards several years back with an Australian developer. Try this link .... MultiMedia Input device drivers for Mac

I tried this out for kicks on my old G4 867MHz PowerMac with a Skystar 2 (now in my AMD X2 4600 with a second Skystar 2) a year or so ago and found that it worked but was very crude. Best to bite the bullet and get a PC, sadly.

I do a lot of streaming to the Mac from the PC though.

There is also the EyeTV 310 from elgato which looks like it is only available in Europe and is quite expensive I believe.

There are a small number of USB boxes that have hit the market in the last 4 years.
I'd have thought one of them might have come with Mac drivers...
...though, I have no idea what software you would use to go with said drivers...
