I have an 867 G4 12' powerbook and that EyeTV USB tuner. It works perfectly. The only problem is that it has a bit poor video quality (it doesn't take that much space. That's a plus...).

I'm going to upgrade my equipment to the EyeTV 400 Digital TV tuner. And then I'll finally be able to watch digital tv with my mac...

El Gato's customer support is very good. I've had some scripting problems with EyeTV software and they were very helpful.
