iTV

If you're looking for a simple software solution to watch TV and listen to the radio on your Mac computer, iTV might be just what you need. This software package includes a kernel extension designed for standard PCI cards with Booktree BT848/878 chips, as well as a small application that allows you to easily access and watch your favorite shows and stations.

However, it's worth noting that this software isn't designed for beginners. To install and use iTV, you'll need to be familiar with the Mac OS X command line. Additionally, while the kernel extension and software have been tested and work well on Apple Developer Transition Kit machines, they may not be compatible with other systems.

If you're used to using the XTelevision.app, keep in mind that the new driver included in iTV isn't compatible with this older software. Similarly, the iTV.app won't work with the previous kernel extension. To avoid any conflicts during installation, make sure you've fully unloaded the old driver before attempting to install iTV.

The latest release of iTV includes support for Tiger and works on both PowerPC and Intel based Macs. However, it does require a minimum OS X version of 10.4.3 for Intel and 10.4.4 for PowerPC. Overall, if you're an experienced Mac user looking for an efficient and easy way to catch up on your favorite programming, iTV might be worth a try.
