Best $20 I ever spent.


It picks up signals so strong that I can even split it, use 75 feet of RG Cable and still get plenty of signal for every digtial broadcast station in the area on both tvs.

It works on Mac OSX, and a lot of those cheaper tuners don't.

If you happen to have the EyeTV software, you should be able to run most of the USB stick tuners out there. I'm thinking of trying that given that my Hybrid seems to be on its way out.]]>Jan 13th 2010 6:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/elgatos-eyetv-one-sticks-to-atsc-leaves-analog-out-in-the-cold/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/elgatos-eyetv-one-sticks-to-atsc-leaves-analog-out-in-the-cold/I agree completely. EyeTV hardware is overpriced. I got a hybrid analog/digital tuner for $30 that was apart of a Windows TiVo software-powered package. (Hauppauge HVR-950Q) and a software only copy of EyeTV (I think $70?). It's a much better deal than any of the combos EveTV offers.]]>Jan 13th 2010 7:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/elgatos-eyetv-one-sticks-to-atsc-leaves-analog-out-in-the-cold/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/elgatos-eyetv-one-sticks-to-atsc-leaves-analog-out-in-the-cold/
Plus EyeTV offers some pretty cool tools, the DVR is seamless and invisible, the steaming to my iPhone is RAD, and they even offer 3G Streaming of anything coming from the Antenna. So I can watch the Playoffs Live on my iPhone from anywhere via that "OTA Antenna" you seem so biased against ;)

Anyway, just thought I would chime in and say, Alright EyeTV, help us stick it to the MAN!]]>Jan 13th 2010 2:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/elgatos-eyetv-one-sticks-to-atsc-leaves-analog-out-in-the-cold/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/elgatos-eyetv-one-sticks-to-atsc-leaves-analog-out-in-the-cold/Jan 13th 2010 2:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/elgatos-eyetv-one-sticks-to-atsc-leaves-analog-out-in-the-cold/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/elgatos-eyetv-one-sticks-to-atsc-leaves-analog-out-in-the-cold/
1) this is a TV tuner... not video capture device

2) component = analog, which this article is pointing out that this device eschews analog connections.

Hybrid mean all the encoding is done on the CPU. This thing is going to suck down 30% of your Core 2 Duo processor.

A hardware TV tuner does all the encoding on it's own processor, meaning it draws single digit percentage of even older processors when you're watching TV.

$100 is a rip off... this thing isn't much better than the super cheap tuners on meritline / dealextreme / etc]]>Jan 13th 2010 3:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/elgatos-eyetv-one-sticks-to-atsc-leaves-analog-out-in-the-cold/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/elgatos-eyetv-one-sticks-to-atsc-leaves-analog-out-in-the-cold/Jan 13th 2010 3:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/elgatos-eyetv-one-sticks-to-atsc-leaves-analog-out-in-the-cold/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/elgatos-eyetv-one-sticks-to-atsc-leaves-analog-out-in-the-cold/Jan 13th 2010 3:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/elgatos-eyetv-one-sticks-to-atsc-leaves-analog-out-in-the-cold/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/elgatos-eyetv-one-sticks-to-atsc-leaves-analog-out-in-the-cold/According to their site, the EyeTV One doesn't support Clear QAM.

Their latest EyeTV Hybrid model does support Clear QAM.

Not ideal but you could use an A/B switch for the 2 connections. The EyeTV software maintains separate channel lists for analog and digital configurations.

To switch between the analog cable and OTA HD you would need to change the A/B switch and tell the EyeTV software to switch to the other tuner type/channel list.

Not the greatest option, but it would work.]]>Jan 13th 2010 6:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/elgatos-eyetv-one-sticks-to-atsc-leaves-analog-out-in-the-cold/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/elgatos-eyetv-one-sticks-to-atsc-leaves-analog-out-in-the-cold/
Hauppauge HVR-950Q, which works with EyeTV software, and can be found for $30. Highly recommended.]]>Jan 13th 2010 7:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/elgatos-eyetv-one-sticks-to-atsc-leaves-analog-out-in-the-cold/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/13/elgatos-eyetv-one-sticks-to-atsc-leaves-analog-out-in-the-cold/
You will need to buy TWO tuners, because broadcast digital and cable tv use the same channels and there is no way to keep them separate on the same connection.

For my local Comcast, only channels up to 38 are in analog; rest are digital-only. And those old tapes I have on my VCR? No thanks, I'm not about to try to convert them to digital.

So why WOULDN'T anybody in a situation like mine prefer so save some complexity, failure points and $30?

And replacing Comcast's $75 a month with a $30 Radio Shack antenna?

EyeTV is garbage, and you should be ashamed for using it for HD tv viewing. Although, their devices are excusable if you are encoding vhs or other media I suppose. I tried the eyetv 250 hdplus super duper blah blah and it was had a significant delay and was choppy at times in display the few hd cable channels it could carry. For anyone who is used to real hd content, this is a joke. I'll stick to fancast, hulu, netflix etc.
Additionally I think its ridiculous that I cannot play other sources on the imac- no real hd tv options (especially if your talking about HBO or NFLhd etc), you cannot hook up an xbox/ps3 to it. does apple really think I am going to go to the itunes store if they just lock out other sources?
