Hi,

Does anyone have any suggestions for Apple Mac compatiable hardware that will work with the H.264 signal?

EyeTV is the obvious choice but they don't support h.264 in hardware yet.

Apparently the latest software update will now pass the h.264 signal to the Mac but without hardware decoding you need a very fast Mac to play the signal.

Can anyone recommend any of these supported USB tuners?

Can't wait to play a HD signal through my Mac Mini setup and ditch the stinky old windows box!

Interesting site. Wonder if there will be anything major in this line of technology at Macworld in the next week or two..
