[MacDV] Re: Video In

[Benjamin Ing]

You can probably use one of the USB TV adapter if you really want to 
just use the iBook as a monitor. I use an elGato eyeTV, but that is 
probably overkill for what you need. There is a company called 
Hauppauge Computer Works that has a company called Eskape Labs that 
makes the MyTV converter boxes for the Mac. The quality is not very 
good on the tuners, which is why I went with the eyeTV, but for your 
purpose, they may work well. FWIW, you can probably buy the Windows 
hardware sold as WinTV and download the software off of the Eskape Labs 
website for the Mac.

Something to experiment with if you want to take the time and can find 
a retail store with a liberal return policy.
