gorky 0 Posted December 16, 2009 Yes, you said it - most will work on PC's, Mac's are still a bit of an afterthought with regard to viewing software. You can, however install dual OS partitions on Macs to give the best of both worlds. Best of, D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

craiga 0 Posted December 22, 2009 Hi, Third party native Mac s/w is available for some DVRs. Google the DVR name along with downloads and with the site limited to Apple's web site.
