Answer 1

Hello Questa,

Yes, it seems that there was a 3rd party hardware thing that you could plug into your Macintosh to watch TV on your computer screen. I forget what it was called.

At the Mac World Expo earlier this month, Steve Jobs announced something called AppleTV (it was called iTV) that is a wireless TV Top system that works with your HDTV, your Mac, and your various Mac software. I'm not sure if it talks about it on the Apple site. Try here:

I know this isn't what you've been talking about, but you might look into those. Best of luck.
