Just hasn't caught much attention until recently with the advent of DVR Macs. The HackTV demo has, suprisingly, been part of the example applications since 10.1 I believe.

Very neat. Is this where they enter the media center market? http://digitalmedia.oreilly.com/2005/01/26/hacktv.html Macdevcenter decsribes Apple’s HackTV setup via Firewire. Very neat.

Nothing online indicates that Apple has provided this functionality with subsequent updates. Not a surprise, since the system requirements are probably outstripping the abilities of the 333 mhz G3. Mind you the Pismo worked fine with sufficient RAM. http://www.macintouch.com/mediaserver01.html (search for beige) From a while back, there is this discussion on AVSForum that discusses using the Firewire SDK plus D-VHS to record HDTV streams.

At least, that was the official Apple word when I checked about a year ago when we installed OS X. The PCI works, so it would be possible to get a TV Out card. As for MythTV, Nigel has a link to the DarwinPorts version (<a href='http://www.users.bigpond.com/pear_computers/'>link here) that includes an installer and is 'idiot proof'.</a> No, the A/V ports, for whatever reason, don’t work under OS X.

I thought you'd be able to run mirroring through the port. Is this PCI not supported? What’s the problem with the A/V? I thought you’d be able to run mirroring through the port.
