I have a 7500 with the RCA in on the back...

I have a Coaxle to RCA box on my cable... I hooked it all together and I tried using my Apple Video Player to watch TV but it says I need a tuner

Do I have to have a hardware tuner or can I use a software program to watch TV? (american cable)

I do have a signal and I can run my DVD player through the back but the whole purpose was to watch cable

I would love a program that would let me hack into digital cable...

ideas?

You need a tuner, the 7500 doesn't have one built in. I have a 7600 (same thing, diff't cpu) with a cheap VCR that I use as a tuner....works like a charm as long as you don't use OS X (there aren't any OS X drivers for the video input).

if you ahve a coaxial to RCA converter than you can use that to hook up teh output of your cable box to your mac and use it liek that with the box

Use Apple Video Player and a cheap VCR for a tuner, or a cable box with a built-in tuner may work, I never tried that. As ...mred said, the 7500 has no tuner of its own. Run the audio/video output from your VCR to the Mac, either the RCA or S-video . I used to do that on my 8500 all the time and miss it on my duallie. Had to get a separate TV and really don't have the room.

While we're on the topic of pumping audio/video from a VCR -> 8500, can anyone here take a guess as to why going from the 8500 -> reciever would prevent proper Pro-Logic decoding? As long as the 8500 is pumping out a stereo signal it should be processed entirely by the P/L receiver right?

For whatever reason i can't get it to work with my old 8500...

Thoughts?
