CheckDTV.com breaks down the digital broadcasts available in your area
Building on the database that powers AntennaWeb showing people where to point for the best reception, TitanTV has launched CheckDTV.com to show just what's on the air where you are. With just a zip code or full street address you can get a complete list of all the digital channels broadcasting around you. Good idea to check that before hitting rescan to make sure you're getting everything you should, of course, we'd probably like to see updated analog shutoff dates when/if those are available for each station affected.
Miglia's TVMax external tuner for the Mac mini
Peripherals manufacturer Miglia has just announced a new external analog TV tuner for the Mac mini, but because they'd already used the name TVMini on another line of products, they decided to confuse us and call this mini-shaped tuner the TVMax. Naming schemes aside, this model -- which adopts the same form factor as several mini hubs that we've seen -- seems to offer everything a TV junkie could want in a external tuner, including MPEG-2/4 and DivX hardware compression, PVR capabilities via the bundled EyeTV 2 software, direct iPod or PSP export, and of course, the obligatory electronic program guide, which in this case is the excellent TitanTV. You also get the standard set of A/V inputs for recording from camcorders or VCRs, as well as a wireless remote to free you from clicking around to change channels, all for $250 and available immediately.[Via Mac Observer]
