No, looks like thats the full express card size.
Get something from eyetv. Theyll sell you the usb tv tuner, and the software needed for osx.
Though I have a hauppage usb tuner, from my windows days, and the eyetv software works with it. Seems like they're the same base hardware, just rebranded. But itd probably easier just to get a package from evety.
Although, I'm not sure if the tech has advanced by now, but at one point you could only watch HDTV from an antenna using a usb tv tuner. Not sure if you can plug in your cable feed from the company and get HD straight through the usb tuner.
Also, you can use firewire if you have an hdtv cable box that has firewire enabled.
use macbook pro to watch HD TV
