I like Elgato's hardware and software, but they've been promising that they're "looking into" Canadian listings support for years now.

This unit apparently DOES support OTA Digital broadcasts.
Note the inclusion of both ATSC and NTSC tuners.

1) Elgato recently released new software that is either ties into FrontRow or emulates the lookand feel of FrontRow.

2) Apple won't relase a built-in DVR as it will rape it's iTunes Music Store's TV, music video and (hopefully soon) movie sales.


I'd really like to see the quality of this device for pulling HDTV. I really don't feelt he antenna shown is large or powerful enough for HD.]]>Aug 17th 2006 12:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/17/el-gatos-eyetv-hybrid-digital-analog-tuner-for-macs/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/17/el-gatos-eyetv-hybrid-digital-analog-tuner-for-macs/
Also I find it interesting that the EyeTV 500 isn't listed on their website anymore as a product. You can only buy it refurbished now. Maybe a refresh to that product is due soon?]]>Aug 17th 2006 1:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/17/el-gatos-eyetv-hybrid-digital-analog-tuner-for-macs/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/17/el-gatos-eyetv-hybrid-digital-analog-tuner-for-macs/
The picture you're showing is incorrect as of 11:05 PDT - that is the EyeTV for DTT (for Europe). The EyeTV Hybrid does NOT include an antenna, rather it has a standard coax F-type connector on the end.

The breakout cable plugs into the side of the device, in the same little black mini usb port that's pictured on the side.

It seems way to easy to just connect a usb device to my mac and have just the stick receive tv channels

How nicely you combine smugness with your ignorance. It would be worthwhile for you to check that the company offering this product, Elgato, has been providing digital TV for the Mac for as long as it has been available for Windows machines. It also has the distinction that unlike the software that comes with the HDTV tuner for my PC it (Elgato's software) doesn't go ballistic when another video application is launched (e.g. Google Earth or WinDVD) and Elgato's software has never crashed my Mac unlike the regularity of the corresponding PC software failures.

The new factor in this case is the considerably smaller size and smaller price tag. This is not a market that makes running "guaranteed to crash" Windows a necessity. The PC products don't come within a country mile of Elgato (which is, of course, not perfect either). Read some of the AVS forums to get some actual information.]]>Aug 21st 2006 4:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/17/el-gatos-eyetv-hybrid-digital-analog-tuner-for-macs/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/17/el-gatos-eyetv-hybrid-digital-analog-tuner-for-macs/

"6) Timeshifting For Devices Without Hardware Compression

EyeTV 2.5 now supports timeshifting functionality for analog TV tuners without built-in hardware compression such as EyeTV Hybrid. To enable this feature, open EyeTV’s preferences to the Devices pane, and check the “Enable Timeshift” box. "
