Can I use this to turn my iMac into a TV and run my satelite feed into the tuner instead of an OTA Antenna?

I use this from my cable feed and receive qam channels only. These are all of the network channels and a few cable channels.

I use this for my cable feed and can receive only qam channels, which is the network channels and very few cable channels.

The answer is yes. I ran my mid-2007 iMac 24" core 2 Duo as a TV starting in late 2007 through November 2008 from the box from Dish TV. No problem. For any help you need, go to the Elgato website.I miss it now, because I can no longer pause a TV program while walking the dog, or rewind to catch something I missed.I will be experimenting with my new monitor, a 32" Vizio, to see if I can do a feed to the Elgato while working on my computer, and still retain the HDMI interface.... ???? I'll be calling Elgato or looking for answers online.

I am not sure either about the tuner type but I use my set with a Terk HDTV indoor antenna and I receive all of my surrounding channels (both HDTV and digital) just fine. I do not subscribe to cable or satellite. Hope that helps!

Yes but you need a tuner,and a software channel guide like Sage, which works great.

Hi if the antenna is plugged into a DTV converter and then the analog convert is plugged into a analog TV, yes that should be fine. Now mine is plugged into a Tivo Premier, it was one of the few DVR that did OTA. Works really well.

You would need a mac compatible tuning program...the cable is 100% mac compatible however I'm unsure of any mac tuning softwares...I used tune ecu on a windows PC

Could be used, but not an optimum choice. This is for satellite TV, not broadcast RF.

Yes you can. However unless the tuner in the TV is digital your not going to get any channels because the analog tuners cannot breakdown digital signals.

Can I connect an external YAGI antenna to this device, to focus the signal to a remote spot?

In my experience you can use just about any antenna you can get your hands on. I'm using an antenna I've had since the 90s and it works just fine, I actually get more channels on this tuner than I do on my Samsung TV.

I do not believe so. I believe that this is just meant to convert analog to digital. What you probably need is a set of bunny ears, which my family has while we wait for our antenna to be set up. You might want to talk to a television expert about this.

I think so. I use it to connect Apple TV optical port to my old Hi-Fi red/white analog. Hope this help

I have no idea what a QAM Tuner is. But I did not have to have one to use my TV. So you should not need one.

I don't believe so. In my case I use the MoCa between 2 of the legs of such an amplifier to create a network connection. It uses passive coupling which is present because the 2 legs are getting the same signal and works just fine that way.The other person trying to use it with a Dish Network installation may be running into problems due to the way Dish itself multiplexes two different satellite receiver tuner signals on a single coax cable. This uses up all the bandwidth.

Yes. You would just use your headphone jack on the iMAC and the appropriate 3.5mm cable.

No, this is only a signal converter. For using Airplay you would need an apple tv.

I believe the preamp will work on most any kind of antenna. Put it close to the antenna.

With a Mac you can hook 1 EyeTV box to the USB port & 1 HDHomeRun box to the ethernet port. That gives me 3 tuners.
