Theres heaps of ways to use your Mac as a TV. I personally use a SlingPlayer to watch live TV but I have in the past used eyeTV sticks to get live TV and record TV for my kids.
Equinux have their Tubestick which plugs into your Mac and runs with their ‘Tube’ software which recently has gained a new feature.
Placeshifting — Share a digital TV show via iChat. If you’re running Leopard, just drag The Tube icon to an active chat. Your chat buddies can view or record the show, and you can talk about the show while watching it.
Finally - a use-case for iChat theater that isn’t ‘playing battleships on an insanely expensive computer’ and perfect for MST3King episodes of your favourite soaps.
Here’s the link for Equinux
