I use the EyeTv 200 with a Mac Pro 2.66 2 Dual Core Intel (4 GB RAM, 2 x 500 GB HD, NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT, 2 x superdrive, Powerwave soundcard), 23' Apple Cinema display.

Yes. Pretty good picture on the computer via a coaxial cable to a Sky Box situated far away in another part of the house. The EyeTv software is excellent, btw.

I know, I too got really confused when I was planning my set-up. Good luck in choosing. btw. To really confuse things you could look at the EyeTv 310 which acts as a satellite receiver as well, though it won't get SKY so you'd have to have another dish aimed at a non SKY satellite. I thought...

Possibly, but not yet. In fact, things seem to be moving away from Firewire (which I prefer to USB). New video cameras are mostly USB and even the new iPods are USB only for music management. For Sky compatability see the EyeTv site and do a search - you'll see three solutions...

But doesn't Appleworks 5 only run in OS 9? And 9 won't run on Intel Macs!

Which bit didn't you understand? You either buy one of the cheaper EyeTv (or similar) devices, the EyeTv 250 (USB) being probably the best bet for you as it is in production and has a 'break-out' cable to connect to the SKY box via S-Video / RCA. Or you could try to get hold of the more...

I've found that Appleworks running on OS X won't open documents I have from the early 90s which were created by early versions of Claris Works (can't remember which versions of Claris Works I used then). If I try to open them with AppleWorks I get an error message. Word won't open or translate...

It was a real hassle sorting this problem out. I use the EyeTv 200 Firewire box hooked-up to a 2.66 Mac Pro, linked to my PACE SKY box via the second RF output, and get pretty good results (re. the post above, the sound seems to be in stereo). I use a simple 'magic eye' device to change channels...

I've had some success opening very old Claris documents with TextEdit. Just do a 'get info' on a Claris document and change the 'open with' to TextEdit. All the formatting is lost, plus you'll have a lot of gobbledygook, but all of your old text will be readable.
