correct. have you by chance downloaded the manual for the 250 and read it? it may answer several of your questions, and clear things up for you. thats what i did, and thats what sold me on the 250.

I refer you back to the beginning of this thread. Read it all again. You'll need an EyeTV 200 or EyeTV250 plus the necessary cables to connect it to your Sky Digibox. Scart to phono or S-Video cable.

it would help if you could either link to a site that lists all the output ports and/or interfaces on the skybox, or take a picture and post it. then i could give you links to the kinds of things you need. but if it has s-video, rca yellow-red-white, or antenna out, then it can be plugged into the eyetv 250, and the software that comes with the 250 will display it on your screen.

*****the 250 has all the same inputs on it as a tv does, so basically, how ever you plug the thing into your tv is how you will plug it into the 250, and the 250 plugs into your mac via usb2.*****
