There's a dearth of end user reviews of the Mac version of the ATI-VisionTek 650 and it's tvPortal software out on the internet. I'll link to this at <a href="http://www.mac-digital-tv-tuners.com/apple-tv-blog/apple-tv-blog.html" rel="nofollow">TV tuners for Apple Mac Blog</a>. It's a shame ElGato's EyeTV or Equinux's TheTube software for Mac doesn't seem to list this 650 QAM Hybrid tuner on their supported 3rd-party HD tuner devices list. After all, it's the software that really makes rather generic TV tuner hardware great - or not. I'd owned a USB 1.1 TV Wonder for Mac years ago and ATI's Mac version software wasn't very impressive back then either... Thanks so much for writing this!
