TV tuner for macbook

Is elgato hybrid or miglia tv tuners are compatible with macbook? Macbook including mine has a very low audio volume. If I will buy one of the tv tuner, what is the best approach to increase the volume when I watch the tv? Is there additional device that a need to buy beside the tv tuner to hear a decent tv sounds?
thanks for your reply

You shouldn't need an amp. Even cheap speakers will sound better than the MacBook's for volume. I don't own any portable speakers, so I can't recommend any. But as far as headphones go, I think the Shure E3C sound great.

  • Best tv tuner for MacBook

    I was looking into getting a tv tuner for my macbook. I have read alot of reviews about a couple products. I have seen both good and bad. Has anyone had success with a certain one? What one do you think is the best?

    I use Elgato's Hybrid. Works great, allows you to record, edit and export to various formats. You can also capture the video from VHS/DVDs and burn to DVD with built-in Toast. A little bit bigger then a thumbdrive with a USB plug.

  • TV Tuner For MacBook HELP!

    im looking to use my mac as a tv on my travels, i use the train alot to travel the country and need a good tv tuner to watch tv while traveling on trains ect, can anyone help me with a good tuner that will work on trains and on the move. cheers.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    http://www.eyetv.com has many solutions.
    However, while the train moves, it is not uncommon to have reception issues, because of surrounding terrain. Satellite TV for instance requires a steady line of sight view of a satellite that is on geosynchronous orbit. Any movement will cause it to go out of sync.
    While TV radio waves can go through houses and trains, they may not go well through miniral rich soils on obstructing hills. Other radio signals on overlapping waves may interfere with reception as well. TV trucks probably have the best on the move technology available, and you've seen what their antennas look like. Your train would have to be outfitted with the same if you wanted something anywhere near 100% reliable. Better to hope for train based internet service to be reliable, and ask your TV stations to stream their video signal over the internet.

  • The normal value of battery capacity for macbook pro

    Hi there,
         I noticed my battery full charge capacity value is way below the technical specification from Apple.
    For macbook pro 15" early 2011 version a 77.5W battery is built-in.
    However, so far after 4 cycle, my full charge capacity is 6913mAh.
    It seems that I missed something. Though I didn't really notice the initial value when it's brandnew.
         Statistically what's the average value of the new battery will be ? around 75W or 7500mAh? Any idea?

    Best battery info resource is here:

  • I bought the wrong version as I need it for macbook pro but somehow bought windows...help

    I guess I will have to wait until normal office hours.  I have no idea why it bought the window version as I did not realize that is what was selected.  I hope I can get it exchanged for the photoshop elements 13 for macbook pro retina display.     Anyone know if this is an easy switch and one they will do?

    When buying HD versions of shows, only the HD copy will automatically download now (probably due to requests from people who don't need/want the SD version and complained about it being forced on them). The SD copy can be downloaded from your purchases area in iTunes, though. On the main iTunes Store page, go to Purchases under the Quick Links and then select TV shows. Click the "Not On This Computer" button. Uncheck the "Download HD when available" box and you should then see the SD copies of the shows and be able to download them.
    Regards.

    i would like to be able to insure that when i import a CD into i-Tunes that all tracks from that CD go into a single file for that album in their proper order regardless of whether or not there is a featured artist on one or two tracks or whatever. i recentl;y imported an All Time Low CD into i-Tunes for my daughter and because one song featured a guest artist i-Tunes placed that song in a seperate folder and so when i synced my daughters i-Pod Touch that one track is not with the rest of the tracks form the album and has to be listened to seperately. The song is from the same album and should be where it belongs with the rest of that album so she can listen to the entire album with the tracks in the proper order. I am sure that this can be done i just don't know how.

    Edit the Name of the problem song to Name [Feat. Guest]
    Change the Artist of that song to All Time Low

    What you want cannot be done. iTunes has its quirks, and the above is the kind of workaround needed to make the media display sensibly on any device. The article I pointed you to has others that you may find useful in future.

    I cannot get itunes to work/install on myPC. I am running windows 8 in a 64 bit machine. I also want to purchase books via itunes for my Nook. Are you deliberately excluding PC owners so we cannot use ituens on our computers???? I have selected a community but have no idea what community I should be working with. Can somone explai these communities to me? Also. you don't allow much time to go thru the sign up process. I had to start over SEVERAL times as you kept timing me out. Jesus...when people are signing up for the first time, we have no idea of the questions that will be asked. Give us a break and give us time to sign up. Not everone is disability free and able to go thru your process quickly...you are NOT user friendly. You should be for people who are wanting to join your community. I used to want an Apple product but now that  I have had first hand experience with your web page, I think I will probably stay away from Apple products. VERY DISAPPOINTING

  • Why SLFM is not enabled for Macbook 13" Aluminum late 2008 model?

    Hi All,
    Does anyone know why SLFM is not enabled for Macbook 13" Aluminum late 2008 model?
    I just found this out after I installed bootcamp and Windows 7 on my Macbook 13" with P8600 2.4Ghz CPU 2GB RAM and 250G HDD after more than a year of using it.
    After I installed the CPU monitoring widget on Windows 7 and CPUZ, I noticed that the lowest Freq that my Macbook operates even with <5% CPU load is only 1.5Ghz and VID @1.0V.
    I installed Coolbook on OSX to confirm what I saw on Windows. I was surprised that SLFM is not visible in Coolbook which is the same result I got from Windows 7 CPU monitoring widget and CPUZ.
    I checked with our local Mac support and they got the same results for all of Macbook 13" Aluminums late 2008 model. SLFM is not visible on Coolbook which means, it is not enabled.
    I tried to install Coolbook on my wife's Macbook Pro 13" 2010, which has the same spec, P8600 2.4Ghz CPU and 250G HDD. The only difference is the memory which is 4GB RAM. There, SLFM is enabled and works just fine, running at 798Mhz @0.875V.
    Can anyone please help confirm if this is really the case for Macbook 13" late 2008 model?
    Because I checked the Intel P8600 Datasheet and SLFM should always be enabled. Otherwise, it will affect battery life as well as long term reliability of the CPU.
    I would appreciate if the Macbook and Macbook Pro owners in this forum can help confirm using Coolbook the status of SLFM in your own Macbooks. You may use any other tool in checking the SLFM and share it with us if you believe it is more reliable and better than Coolbook. Thanks.

  • How can I know if my new internal hd for macbook pro is compatible?

    I have been trying to upgrade my internal HD for macbook pro early 2008 2.4 and have been having a hard time getting it to boot.  Problems with both WD and Seagate.  I am wondering if the problem is with Mavericks.  I got a good back up from Time Machine to load on the hybrid drive.  Then when I try to restart it shows the apply symbol with no chime and then a black screen comes over the blue screen with some code (strange problem I have never seen) I can see that all the data is on the drive.  I was able to partitian in disk utility.  Anything ringing a bell.  I have done several switches like this and this is the first time I have had so much trouble.  I reinstalled my old drive just to make sure there was not another hardward issue and everything is fine there.  In fact I have a new logic board freshly installed by mac. 

    Your machine has a SATA 2 interface and I'm sure the new drives are SATA 3. They should still step down and work though. It's possible your SATA cable is marginal and the newer drive is trying to demand more out of it than the old one did. A good test would be to put the new drive in an external enclosure and see if it works ok from there. If so, it's probably the cable.

    How did you install Mavericks on the new drive?
