Can I connect my DVR to my iMac (and throw out my 24 year old TV)?
Can I connect the DVR to the iMac? When I read about adapter cables, it sounds like the mini displayport is used for output, especially for other Mac models. Will an adapter allow it to accept input? Thanks.
Is this a good question?

By DVR do you mean cable (or satellite) box?

The DVR is a cable box. It has multiple outputs like IEEE 1394, USB, Ethernet, HDMI, S Video, etc. I use the video out yellow-red-white to an RF converter to the old TV. I would like to use the HDMI port on the DVR and go to the mini displayport on the iMac. From what I've read, I'm not convinced that it'll work.
