I have a lot of Mac friends that have moved to SightSpeed. Why? 1) Better Video Quality 2) Cross platform support (Mac to PC) But then again, you have to try it for yourself :) I must say, that I enjoy SightSpeed to the fullest.

1) Better Video Quality
2) Cross platform support (Mac to PC)

But then again, you have to try it for yourself :)

There is a known bug, where the camera will lose connection to the computer. In cases like this, you just need to shutdown SightSpeed, un-plug your camera, wait a few seconds, plug it back in, and you're good to go.

The iSight worked just fine in Sightspeed, but I couldn't get it to work with anything else afterwards, even after (a) quitting Sightspeed, (b) uninstalling Sightspeed, and (c) restarting the computer. I finally unplugged the camera and plugged it back in, and it worked. With Skype supporting videoconferencing now on PCs (and hopefully <a HREF="http://www.stevewhitaker.net/archives/skype-15051s-osx/" rel="nofollow">soon on Macs</a>), I just don't see the need for another piece of software on my machine. And the whole "watch TV" thing? Not for me. But if it were, there are tricks to do this with iChat as well. I just tried installing this on an OS X machine.
