What is the best way for me to watch TV in my dorm room?

Question by americaguy9: What is the best way for me to watch TV in my dorm room?
I need TV, I am so deprived LOL. Anyways, I have a new 24" iMac and a 32" TV. There are 2 products I've found so far that look great. I need your help to tell me which one is better, or if there is something else that beats these 2.

The first one is the Slingbox... http://www.slingmedia.com/go/slingbox

I can watch it through my computer too, but then also get a SlingCatcher and watch through my TV. At home, we have a DVR player with a lot of channels.

And the 2nd one is EyeTV for my iMac, so I can watch TV on my computer... http://www.eyetv.com/elgato/na/mainmenu/products/software/EyeTV3/product1.en.html

This one looks great too, would just need to get a TV Tuner, and they have a few choices of some on the same site. I am just not sure the quality of TV I get, what channels I get, etc.

So I need your help, and 10 points for best answer, thanks!!!

  1. It depends what you want to watch.

    You can use the Slingbox/catcher to watch what TV you receive at “home”, with the Sling Box installed there.

    The EyeTV is just a tuner for your Mac, to watch or record whatever TV you receive at the dorm, on your Mac.
