Okay, after search Google for a good TV Tuner for my mac, I found you guys talking about Televio. I decided to finally go for it and buy it from Dr. Botts a couple weeks ago. I got it and was happy though I do get interference on the lower cable channels which also affected me when I plugged a VCR to the coaxial connection. It went away when I just used the RCA jacks. Anyways, I visited the Televio video website and to my surprise Televio has been picked up by another company who will now sell the Televio card with the name AlchemyTV

Televio website:

AlchemyTV website:

So I was so unlucky to have bought the Televio 2 days before they announced the partnership! Here's the kicker! Televio costs $149. They're now selling AlchemyTV for only $109!!! Dr. Bott wouldn't refund the difference, so I have to go to the trouble to sending the card back to them. :-( But hey, that's a $40 difference for the exact same card! Right now I'm trying to find a U.S. reseller for AlchemyTV... how sucky... I went to see the US resellers, none of them have yet have the new card for sale on their website.

I guess I could wait till they get the card or bug the resellers to stock it. It would be nice to save $40. If you buy it directly from the company in the UK, it's $129.

So what do you guys think? Return the card to save $40 and wait till they start selling the card. OR keep the card that's already here?

I would say keep it. you'll have to pay for shipping it back, and your time is worth something too, both the time spent on the return and the time you'll go without the card. Also I heard somewhere that the alchemyTV one doesn't come with the IR remote. It all adds up
