I was on the verge of buying an EyeTV Wonder, but I just came across this article:

http://www.macosxhints.com/article.p...amp;query=hdtv

I'm going to be getting a cable box. Does this mean that I don't need a tuner? I'm confused. I really don't know anything about TV technology. I simply want to be able to watch all of my digital cable channels, including premium channels like HBO, at the highest quality I can get for a reasonable price (i.e. $150 or less). I also want good software to browse channels and record shows at reasonable quality. Basically, I want a decent TV with TiVo in my Mac.

So...

Help!

Edit: How does this compare to the EyeTV Wonder or 500? I just want something that works well and has good software, and that will work with my cable box (unless I don't need anything extra if I have a cable box, which was my original question).

Again, Help .
