What is the best way to connect to directv on demand?

Is there a way to connect Directv to a mac?

  • I've seen questions about saving dvr stuff to your computer, but I'm interested in just watching my Directv through my mac. I'm a recent mac convert and am convinced they can do anything. Am I overly optimistic?

  • Answer:

    it depends which mac you have. directv has s-video and component output that can be shown on a computer, but most macs don't have the correct inputs for these. head on over to http://elgato.com look for the 200, 250 series eyetvs , it can convert the s-video to mac, and you can record shows. it's not hd, but it's good quality sd (most of directv is sd)
