To hook up my new Mac Pro to cable tv?    Is it a special card or an external
device (usb?).  I'd like to be able to record programs on my Mac and then
burn them to DVD.  My wife can do this on her Windows machine so I'm assuming
Mac has something as well???

I use an eyeTV box and software from <http://www.elgato.com/> . They
have excellent customer support and regularly updates the software.

You can record from over-the-air, cable, digital set-top boxes, etc.

Then using Toast you can burn your shows to DVD, the two companies share
common interfaces.

Thanks.  I'll give that a look and see what I can figure out.  It's something
I want to do now that I have enough hard drive space to do things like
that...

You want this:

    <http://www.elgato.com/>

If you have digital cable, you probably want the EyeTV Hybrid.
