Is the card PCI? If so, then I guess it's not possible. At least JaS 10.4.8 skipped PCI support, dunno how Leopard handles this. The new Macs are mostly designed for PCI-Express. If it's USB or firewire try Elgato EyeTV, but I'm not sure you can download it from their website, I think it was only part of their hardware products. The software does support some USB pinnacle devices.

Ah, I've got a very similiar question: What's about a TV-Stick and EyeTV? Does it work? I heard EyeTV is great!

EyeTV supports some 3rd-party TV sicks. Some components, f.e. the Elgato 310 is manufactured by Terratec. But a friend has a lot of graphic errors with EyeTV.
