Question: Media Ctr + TV tuner Work On Mac?

I'm thinking of buying a new Mac.

If I run Vista on it (via BootCamp, or Parallels, etc...) will I be able to
use Vista's media center in the same way I do now (with my USB TV Tuner). I
use Vista as my DVR, then watch the recorded shows thru my XBOX (1st
generation) with the Media Extender.

Thanks!

I see no reason why it wouldn't work - as long as your USB TV Tuner has
a Vista driver.

If you are currently using the USB Tuner on Vista then yes, of course it
will work. There's nothing special about Mac hardware - it's the same
as any other PC these days. Just in a prettier (or uglier, depending
on your POV) case.
