  1 1 http://www.plexapp.com/ http://xbmc.org/download/ Should offer Media Center functionality to OSX. Sadly, I don't believe Cablecard support exists for the Mac just yet.

Good news is they now have a Roku channel. Thanks a lot I'm going to check it out.

  1 1 Charles, I see you have a Mac in your reply to The StainMaster - there is already a way to DVR shows on your computer and watch them with the roku, but the quality might not be that great. I don't know anything about it but can point you in the right direction: You'll need a private channel from thenowhereman.com - Nowhere DVR. Also check out some of the other nowhereman offerings - we have both Nowhere TV and the Newscaster on our roku, and I watch the Newscaster a lot, particularly the al Jazeera live stream. They're all free. You'll need an EyeTV tuner for your computer - there's one for $100 that looks like it would work. Nowhere DVR only works with the EyeTV program. I found this video that's kind of helpful: How to turn your roku into a DVR. Also, it looks like you need both the computer and the roku on a wireless network. I would like to set up our system to DVR shows, but right now we're saving money to replace our ancient TV. Between Netflix, Amazon Prime instant video, and Hulu+, we haven't really missed having cable; sometimes I just want to watch NOVA or something else not available right now through the roku channels. asteria answered in Television 12 months ago | Report Comment on this answer Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  1 2 Charles, The content providers understand the percieved value of their product and have no interest in iptv until/unless it can be proven to be profitable. Recording a show legaly is not profitable. The StainMaster answered in Television 12 months ago | Report 1 comment by Charles B… 1 0 Stainmaster, I know what you mean, but I had hoped someone had come up with a workaround that was do-able. I hear that Bamboom is a new startup that has bought 100K+ tiny antennae and assign one to each of their users and then broadcast the station to the cloud to make it watchable anywhere. It's a legal workaround that has precedent since Comcast used a similar workaround scheme to enable their DVR approach. But they are in beta and only in NY/CT right now. http://bamboom.com/ How about turning my Mac into a TV/DVR and then creating a Roku channel for it? But I don't think that qualifies as humany do-able.

  1 3 You can download torrents if you have the drive space. internet_jen answered in Television 12 months ago | Report 1 comment by Charles B… 2 0 Yeah, but I'd like to be legal if I can.
