They've had TV Tuner cards since the 1990 - I remember reading in MacUser of a MacTV card - a tuner on a NuBus card. - they didn't sell too many so they were discontinued. Apple used to include TV Tuners with the Performas.

I don't know if you can still buy TV Tuner cards - these days it seems USB based devices like eyeTV are all that are available.
