I am interested in buying a tv tuner for my Powerbook. I have looked around a little and the only ones I can find are $200-300, does anyone know of a more resonably priced tuner?

That sounds about right--I've been eyeing the ones from El Gato and hoping for price drops (and for HDTV to settle down enough for me to go that route).

There was a Cardbus tuner I found online--in theory it could slip right in side your PB internally--but it either never made it to production or was soon discontinued. Too bad--sounded cool!

hate to tell you, but for a fw tv tuner, that is a reasonable price.

if thats not too much for you, i'd recomend the el gato eyetv ones, I've been toying with the idea of getting one of those myself
