The Apple TV/FM Radio System (M4586LL/A) requires a Macintosh Performa or Power Macintosh computer with a video-in card. The video-in card is required even if only the FM Radio Player is used. If the video-in card is not installed, the FM Radio Player will display an error message saying, "The FM radio is not installed in this Macintosh."
While some Macintosh Performa and Power Macintosh computers come with a video-in card pre-installed (for example, the Power Macintosh 5400/120) most of these computers require the purchase of the Apple Video System (M2894LL/D or later).
