Recording a live show in HD Record and Watch Anywhereīesides being able to record to your Mac’s hard drive (internal or external) you can choose to record in two different modes simultaneously. It even comes with it’s own wireless remote control and all the cables you’ll need. Once you load their software you’ll have access to your guide and even the ability to have your Mac remote control your set-top box via the IR emitter. However, with a one time purchase of an EyeTV you can connect this small box to your cable/satellite receiver and then connect it to your Mac via USB (it’s bus powered, so no power brick). You still need a cable or satellite box to decode the signals from your provider. With the EyeTV HD you can use your Mac as the HD DVR. This also means that in order to record those shows (especially in HD) that you either need to rent their DVR (not a fan of their boxes) or buy a TiVo. Although there was probably no technical reason to cut it, they cut it and now in order to get cable in my area you need a set-top box to decode the digital signals they send. This was one of the things they cut in the move to “Digital” TV. For example, Comcast in my area no longer broadcasts “basic” cable without a box. However, since those days a lot has changed in the world of TV. I’ve used Elgato products in the past to simply bring in cable TV to an iMac and have “TV” playing in a window as I worked. For this Elgato has got you covered with their EyeTV HD. However, I recognize that many of you don’t want the costs associated with TiVo, but you do want to be able to record your shows in HD and transfer them to your iOS and other mobile devices. As said above, a "wonderful piece of kit."ĮyeTV has 2 quality settings, the highest quality setting produces good results IMHO.As many of you already know I’m a fan of DVRs in particular TiVo HD and Premiere boxes. EyeTV wakes or boots your computer minutes before recording, and then puts it to sleep based on your Energy Saver Prefs.ĥ. Software is what really stands EyeTV away from Formac Studio DV/TV, because Formac's offering produces better quality (DV=huge files).Ĥ. No show recommendations based on genre.ģ. You can use Watson,, or program manually without cost.Ģ. Just a wonderful peice of kit, I am very happy with the output, the software just gets better and better.ġ. I use the EyeTV software on my Pismo and stream the video wirelessly from my DP450, have the Pismo plugged into my 42" television, looks beautiful. The analog side of the cable works fine with EyeTV. It records fine from my digital cable box, can't control the channels, but when I do record something from the digital side, I hand tune it. I have recorded up to six different shows at once.(Two per USB port, I have run six on my DP450 with an add-on USB card) Here are some cool things you can do with EyeTV: In my personal opinon it blows Tivo away. I have been reporting on EyeTV here since its beta days. * Has a clean interface that allows you to see and use all your ReplayTVs from one placeĮyeTV is an incredible little box. * Control your ReplayTV from your computer
* Control your ReplayTV remotely (turn it on, off, delete shows, etc) * Watch previously downloaded shows OR watch shows directly from your ReplayTV without having to download them first * Schedule automatic purging/deleting of shows you don't like but which your ReplayTV keeps recording * Schedule automatic downloads of shows from your ReplayTV to your computer
* Turn your computer into a virtually unlimited capacity ReplayTV show archive * Automatic support for Replay 4xxx and 5xxx Series units * Download shows from your ReplayTV to your computer to watch, archive, burn to DVD/VCD, etc * See what shows your ReplayTV(s) have recorded right from your computer
