Anyone know of a simple way to go from the wall to my MBP via coax so I can watch cable TV on it.

Would something like that do that trick? Any other soultions? I don't really need to be able to record it (though that would be nice), but I'd like to be able to just watch TV on it. I've got my main TV out in the living room and don't want to have to buy a TV for my bedroom, so I'm hoping to find a simple solution.
Thanks!

Elgato makes a number of TV tuners you could use. They come with the EyeTV software so you can record shows if you want. It works pretty well, though you'll need a fast Mac (G5 or later) to record movies in high quality format.
Miglia is another company that makes similar products. I've not used any of their products, though.

Let us know how it works for you. I've also been looking for something like this too.
