That's the catch, isn't it. Currently, I have a firewire analog to minidv converter which I use to get video into my existing G4. I suppose I could combine this with a directv tuner with serial control and a USB to serial converter, but what I would ideally like is a firewire controlled Directv tuner. Another alternative is the elgato EyeTV, but that does not work for satellite in the US. -Drew On Jan 11, 2005, at 6:12 PM, Robert Nicholson wrote: > And what is your video input? > > On Jan 11, 2005, at 1:01 PM, Andrew T.
