Best answer: There is a quite a lot going on in the world of Mac TV with the release of the Mini. This may be more than you need to know but these links should get you on the way and may take you further:

Mac Mini Center Links to lots of pages on extending your Mini inc. TV/PVR-related
Mac-HTPC Mac home theatre blog.
Mac HTPC Another blog.
The Center Stage Project Fast-moving open source project to bring media centre capabilities to the Mac. Got started just after the release of the Mini. This could (eventually) be a very neat answer.
HT Mini Another Home Theatre blog. Links to HT projects/manufacturers etc...

If it's the USB 1.1 version you should be able to use the MyTV software, which is the same product in Mac packaging sold by a Hauppauge subsidiary.

(It might also work with the USBVision software, which is better written but can't control the tuner, although the one I had didn't work at all with it)
