Elgato EyeTV Tuners

[steve dave]

Yeah, that's pricey.  Never used a Mac, do they not have built in media package for TV?  I am going to get a Pinnacle and just scrap the software as they will work with anything.  G'luck 'clams 

[pissclams]

what software are you going to use? you're going to end up paying for whatever it is- you need software that runs your dvr functionality and tuning crap.
check out www.sageTV.com  it is very leet, especially the placeshifter feature   

[steve dave]

what software are you going to use?

The media center stuff built into vista

ya no you're not

is this just OTA hd-signals? you can't hook up your digital cable into it, right?

The EyeTV hybrid is good.  The software that comes with it has gotten much better over the last few years.  I don't personally have one but know somebody that does and he loves it.

My current PC runs it perfectly (not elgato eyeTV garbage).  Built in controls for tuner/dvr/etc. Scrapped the ATI software when I got the tuner.  (sucks about the mac  ).  Fatty, you would probably only get ABC/NBC/ABC/PBS in HD Clear QAM in manhattan through the cable but should get all the unscrambled digital stations.

love that someone running Vista is mocking a MAC

my mac hasn't ever crashed

so i went over the the apple store at lunch and talked to the d00dz there about them.  he knew less about them than i do.

wtf is iTV?

sorry maybe its AppleTV, they call everything "i" sumpin' so I fig'd it was iTV.  Anyway, its a way to watch internet programs (episodes posted on 'net, downloaded or youtubed) on TV.  They hold 40-160 GB to store the programs.

There marketing ploy is for every1 to ditch sat/cable since about everthing can be watched online (or almost 'rything). You can just pay for what you want to watch instead of a monthly fee.

And srsly, my iMac has crashed (stalled and had to power off/on) three times due to "not responding" software.

Already w00ted the s#!t out of them this morning, so no.

[pissclams]

i w00ted the living sh*t out of them too.  man, it was awesome. 

[steve dave]

pretty good deal

does anyone have one of these?  Clams, did you get an elgato?  My desktop PC has a tuner card but not an Qam/HD.  Thought this would be money for the laptop but don't know if it would even be relevant for much longer. 

[pissclams]

why not?

Get pretty much everything over broadband anyway
