Mac users are in for an HDTV treat with Miglia's TVMini HD. The stylish compact device enables users to watch, record and edit HDTV ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee) content and unencrypted digital cable TV programs. Simply put, Mac users can watch Grey's Anatomy while out in the woods. Just make sure you're on the side of the woods that's within range of an ATSC broadcast tower.

The package includes a USB tuner, a small TV antenna, a remote, and a CD with Elgato's EyeTV 2.1 television scheduling and editing software. It comes with a carrying pouch to get you organized.

To properly view 1080i high-definition programming, you need to have a Mac powered by Intel Core Duo or dual processor PowerMac G5.

The main purpose of the device is to capture ATSC transmissions, which can be both standard-definition and high-definition. Like traditional analog, it's transmitted over-the-air. The big difference between these is that ATSC never has static. With sufficient signal, you'd always have crystal clear audio and video quality. The thorn in digital TV's side is that if the signal strength drops below 50%, you lose your picture completely.
