What kinds of television software does everyone use?

I recently came across Livestation and it seems to be one of the better options, however, it has not been released for PPC Macs. Has anyone else tried it?

I use EyeTV, which is great, does all the MP2 compression in real-time.

I use EyeTV with the HDHomerunner dual HD tuner.

Oh. I see. Is it costly? Any bargains, etc...

No it's worth every cent. I recorded this with it. image quality is perfect and records in HD, then you can sync it with your iphone!

I'm on Comcast streaming HD. It's NIIIIIICE.

EyeTV comes with everything you need. Its a hardware/software combo. You can connect either directly to the coaxial cable line, S-video or composite video (and audio). There is a built-in hardware MPEG2 encoder (which standard DVDs use). The software acts as a TV Guide, Video clip editor, Recording timer, and can also save your videos in different formats for web, iphone, and other stuff.
