Does the mbp have a tv tuner built-in?

hi,
i'm on the verge of buying a mbp for college/university this year.
i just wanted to ask if it was possible to watch TV on the laptop.
i know you can watch on demand tv services, such as the bbc's iplayer service, but i wanted to know if you could watch live tv.
please could you let me know asap.
thanks.

crafty_me,
The Macbook Pro does not have a TV tuner. You'll need something like EyeTV.

  • Does the iMac have an AUDIO IN besides from the built-in mic?

    Does the iMac have an AUDIO IN aside from the built-in mic? 
    Also, are any special cables needed?
    Thanks,
    John

    Hi
    You should be able to check by going to about this mac from the Apple menu. Then click the more info button and then the system report button. Next, click on audio tab to the left. If you don't have an entry for built in input then you probably don't have line-in in your mac. As already mentioned though you should be able to defiantly find out with the model and year.
    Hope this helps

  • Connecting a powerbook G3 to the internet via ethernet and a DSL modem. Does the G3 have the ability to do this?

    I am trying to connect an older powerbook G3 (M4753) to the internet via ethernet and a DSL modem. Does the G3 have the ability to do this? I'm having alot of trouble. G3 Dialog box states the DHCP server will populate IP address, etc. It does not. The G3 also insists I enter the DHCP client ID.

    Anything useful in the following articles?

    Great hearing for you all! I thought I was all alone this past weekend. I did learn a lot this weekend. I really like the InDesign product.(half-the-battle) But to be helped by the prestigious “Sandee Cohen” was an honor indeed.”  I ordered the InDesign CC today.  Peter, I appreciate all the feedback on Lynda too. They are loaded with lots of good videos. Derek too honed in on one of the most important aspects!  Since I have been working with Word for most of the first portion of the book this will be a big help. I looked at the comments big help ! Thanks a ton ALL!  Have a wonder day or evening whenever you read this reply.

  • Does the MBA have an optical audio out (toslink)?

    Does the MBA have an optical audio out (toslink)?

    The MacBook Pro and iMacs have digital audio out routed through the headphone jack.  A physical converter (costing a few cents) must be used to connect a regular TOSLINK cable.
    The MacBook Air apparently does not have this feature.
    As to true Thunderbolt 'adaptors' I have yet to see any hit the market.  I would suggest not holding your breath while waiting for useful Thunderbolt technology to appear--one day perhaps, but not now. I would love to be proven wrong about this--I could really use the Thunderbolt<->FW800 adapter

  • Does the camera have a focus or zoom function

    does the camera have a focus function or zoom function?

    The camera on iPad was really designed for Facetime conversations.  Keep in mind the rear facing camera is 2.3 Megapixel and the front facing camera is .7 magapixel.  Neither are even close to real camera standards. 

  • I AM STRUGGLINT TO ACCESS MY IPHOTO'S AND HAVE TO GO THROUGH APPLICATIONS TO ACCESS MY PHOTOS. HOW CAN I CORRECT THIS PLEASE. DOES THE MAC HAVE A DEFRAG?  TX

    I am having problems viewing my iPhoto from the dock and have to go through my applications to view. What do I have to do to correct this please? Also does the Mac have a defrag function? I have also been advised by the sales person that the Mac does not need an antivirus programme, is this true?

    I'm sorry but your post make no sense
    first off All Caps is not necessary and makes things hard to read and is consider shouting - it is rude
    Second you do not have "an iPhoto" - iPhoto is an application that manages photos - the photos are stored (by default) in the iPhoto library in a SQL lite database and you use the iPhoto program to manage them
    I am having problems viewing my iPhoto from the dock and have to go through my applications to view.
    can you please explain this in some detail. When you launch iPhoto by clicking on the iPhoto icon in the Dock what happens?
    As to your other OS questions this is certainly not hte best place to address them - we are iPhoto users just like yourself here  ---  basically as I understand it (and I have had had Macs for 30+ years) there is no "defrag and you do not need one - and antivirus is your choice - most people feel it is a waste of money on a Mac but some like to have it

  • Am having major issues! this does not work i dont understand..does the ipod have to be off while pressing the buttons if so how is it possible if it is connected to the computer either way it turns on..and when i tried these steps while the ipod was on it

    i am having major issues! this does not work i dont understand..does the ipod have to be off while pressing the buttons if so how is it possible if it is connected to the computer either way it turns on..and when i tried these steps while the ipod was on it still doesnt  work it just asks me “slide to power off” please someone help me i just cant seem to put my ipod in DFU mode

    To get the iPod in recovery mode and DFU mode you first have to turn the iPod off.
    Just what is the problem you are tying to resolve?
    Sometimes you have to let the battery fully drain if you can't turn the iPod off. After charging for at least hour try again.

  • How much info about the cache-cluster does the client have and What would you recommend about putting the cluster behind virtual ip

    Hi,
    I will appreciate if someone can point me to some documentation as to how app-fabric client library accesses the app-fabric cluster.
    What I have found so far is that the list of hosts provided in the client configuration are used as an entry point into the Cache-Cluster. By connecting to one of hosts, the client will download information about all the hosts constituting the cluster.
    Since a named cache is distributed across the entire cluster, and the data can be stored on any node. How does the client decide which node it should connect to, to get the data from. Does the client have enough information to know which host has the data
    or the client will connect to one of the nodes, if the node has data, it will serve it otherwise redirect the client to the node that has the data.
    I also would like to know what do you say about the idea that we would like to put our cache-cluster behind a virtual ip, so that if needed, we can take down nodes or add more nodes. In fact the virtual ip will that of a load balancer, but we don't plan to
    use it for load balancing purposes but the idea is that the client will have the virtual ip address and we can repoint this IP address, if we need to take out a node for maintenance reason. 

    I'm not sure about the reason for putting the cache servers in a VIP, but one of the reasons why the cache servers should be made known to the servers is because of auto load balancing and throughput
    Imagine i have 10 cache servers running on 1G ethernet links, theoretically i have 10G usable bandwidth and the clients will be able to manage and load balance if any of the cache server fails or have performance issues
    Now if all these were parked behind a VIP
    1. The LB now does the load balancing, which may not be optimal
    2. The LB may not have 10G upstream and 10G downstream, even if it has, this is quite a waste of resource\

  • DOES THE IPAD HAVE A TEXT TO SPEECH FEATURE IN IBOOKS??

    DOES THE IPAD HAVE THE TEXT TO SPEECH FEATURE IN IBOOKS??

    Actually, there is a small workaround.
    It isn't the same as an audiobook, but it does the job.
    Go to Settings>General>Accessubility>Voiceover>
    I would suggest settkng the speed to slower cnsiderng you
    are gong to read books.
    Anyway turn voice oier on.
    You'll have to double tap everything since Voiceover sais everything you tap once.
    Anyway, once you're n the book, just tap the text and boom.
    I use ths on websites where there are a kit of text,
    You see, this feature is for those who are vision impaired or blind.
