or RG-6 recommended), connect EyeTV 500’s other port (may

be labeled as ANT.OUT and capped with a rubber cap) to your

digital cable. Do not attach it to your cable box’s out port if at

all possible to avoid signal degradation.

• Connect one end of the FireWire cable to port 1 or 2 of your

Macintosh.

Note: The EyeTV 500 receives power over the FireWire cable. A DC-12V Power
