I got an iMac 17", so how can I use it to as a TV? I have DirecTV and would just need to know how to connect the output from the box into the iMac...?
Any ideas?

I have an iMac G5 17 inch, DirecTV and am watching a movie next to this window on the Mac as I respond to your post. I am using ConvertX box running EyeTV software. Have had it several months now and love it. I also use it to convert our old video8 tapes to DVD. I can "back up" this movie I am watching or record the whole thing.
Buy it here ConvertX EyeTV

Do you then use the normal DirecTV controller and run it in full screen mode to watch TV then in window when you're working?
