> EyeTV 500 is a feature-rich digital TV recorder for free over-the-air 
> (ATSC) and unencrypted digital cable (Clear QAM) television. Watch, 
> record, edit and enjoy free over-the-air HDTV and digital 
> standard-definition television (SDTV) on your Mac in crystalline 
> digital quality. The recorded shows can be exported into different 
> video formats for further editing in iMovie® HD, iDVD®, Final Cut® Pro 
> HD/ Express HD or DVD Studio Pro®.


Looks like it mightm, keep in mind you'd be an early adopter and HDTV 
needs a lot of horsepower. . .

> System Requirements
> • A Macintosh computer with minimum PowerPC® G4 500Mhz or G5 processor 
> and
> FireWire port. Dual G5 processors required for full frame rate HDTV 
> playback at full
> 1920x1080 resolution.

Then to watch what you've recorded w/o loss of quality you'll need a 
DVI output from your Dual G5 to a HDTV monitor. . . <whew!>
