I’m not sure but I think a standard crock pot will over steam any tv you might use.
Try a wok instead.

Oh, or a waffle maker, because who needs steam when you have waffles.

I do have a real answer though. Which is that you can’t get live TV on your Mac without an external device. I.E. Capture card, USB or otherwise.
