You have to get an external attachment such as the EyeTV from Elgato Systems.

I bought the Elgato TV (Hybrid) Card last week from the Apple shop.

Its a great product and comes with some of the best software I have used.

For gaming...well, I think they could have done better because the picture quality isn't great when connected to a PS2.

Some of the features are awesome like Record/Rewind/FastForward live TV & Radio, its almost like Sky +.

When I hooked up my PS2 and played Fifa I got motion sickness but I guess it'd probably be OK for games that don't have alt of movement.

The optical port is for audio.
