The Elgato EyeTV Hybrid is just a rebranded Hauppauge HVR-950 (predecessor to the one announced today) so I can only assume Elgato will follow suit with software support and their own version of this.
All Elgato needs to do is add driver support (it's like the Pinnacle devices, not all of the USB stick ones work even though they are similar devices). IF they do end up supporting it, I might pick it up and drop my Hybrid.
I doubt they'll have a rebranded version of this for Macs. It would compete directly with the 250+ they released a few months ago (the 250+ has hardware encoding as its big selling point vs. the Hybrid and this device).
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
