EL GATO EYETV HD SOFTWARE
One thing I forgot to mention was that the EyeTV software can export recorded video to a number of formats, not just for your video iPod. The processor's speed is important as the EyeTV Hybrid relies on a software encoder for analog TV. However, as a small nitpick, the EyeTV Hybrid USB dongle tends to get toasty during use.įor the best EyeTV Hybrid experience, you're going to need a Mac with an Intel Core Duo processor or better as well as a good antenna or at least a cable connection without too much static. I have a mac mini (1.66 GHz Intel Core Duo with 1GB Ram) that it hooks up to and writes all the HD recordings to a USB external drive, as one hour HD recordings are around 4-5GB. Compared to other TV tuners, the pricing for the EyeTV is right on and the great software puts it in a league of its own. We had DirecTV for years and dumped it for a rooftop antenna and the Elgato system. For a retail of 149.95, the EyeTV Hybrid is a great complement for that Mac Mini serving as your HTPC in the living room or even your MacBook serving double-duty as computer and TV in the dorm.

Simply put, the Elgato EyeTV Hybrid rocks (and I wasn't even paid to say that!). This PC/Mac tuners ability to stream HD satellite TV across a home network is useful, but marred by its erratic Wi-Fi features By Cliff Joseph published 3 March 2011 Plug this into your router.
