Bundled in with the package is a remote control, and the included software (Elgato’s EyeTV Lite) is quite easy to use.
The nanoStick is a compact little USB tuner that lets you watch digital terrestrial TV (normal or HD content), as well as the ability to record and timeshift (i.e. The EyeTV adaptor is tiny and can receive DVB-T, DVB-C and analogue transmissions

This is pretty much all you need to watch live TV!ĭespite it’s small and convenient size, the EyeTV Hybrid may actually be more suitable to use on machines such as the iMac and Mac Mini rather than MacBooks, because it always has to be tethered to an aerial meaning that it’s not as portable as you might think. It also comes with the EyeTV software, which contains a program guide and can also record programmes to disk for later viewing. The tuner itself is a compact size that fits into a spare USB slot on your Mac, and the other end has a full-sized coaxial socket to connect to your TV aerial feed.

We tried it on a first-gen iPhone over the cellular network, and it wasn't good - much better trying it on an Asus Eee PC connected over HSDPA 3G.Link: Buy it now on Amazon | Elgato websiteĮlgato seems to make most of the TV tuners available for the Mac, and if you want to watch digital terrestrial TV (known as DVB-T), analogue TV and cable TV (DVB-C) plus FM radio, then the EyeTV Hybrid might just fulfil your needs. Locally, it's cute sitting in bed watching a recording made on a Mac in another room earlier that day.

It's easy to set up a collection of favourite channels - EyeTV will handily filter out radio or pay-tv channels, but not both at once, alas - and though it took us an age to work out how to re-order and delete channels added to a favourites list, it is possible to do: go to list view rather than the default timeline view.ĮyeTV 3 also introduced the ability to stream recordings to other devices on your local network and on the internet. This way you'll be able to record the programme Merlin that appears on BBC One, but not repeats on BBC Three or similarly named shows that may pop up on Channel 4, Sky Three, Five or the ITV channels. We particularly liked its smart scheduling system: filter programmes listed in the EPG using a huge array of criteria, then set the results to be recorded automatically. EyeTV uses 55-60 per cent of the Air's CPU resources. That has the HDD-equipped Air's 4200rpm 1.8in drive spinning flat out, and combined with EyeTV's CPU and GPU overhead, soon had the Air's normally near-silent fans humming away.įortunately, you can minimize the drive use by reducing the size of the recording buffer and electing to keep it in memory - not a problem given the Air's 2GB. Since it is a DVR app, it's constantly buffering what you're watching on to the hard drive, to allow you to pause and rewind. Speaking of the Air, which we used to try the Deluxe, it's a laptop that's perhaps not best suited to a heavy duty DVR app like EyeTV 3. It's Elgato's standard TV-remote-sized unit, but given the emphasis on the Air, which is a traveller's machine, we'd have preferred a smaller, more stowable remote.
In addition to the two aerials, the Deluxe comes with a Freeview-friendly remote control - there's an infrared port on the top of the tuner. Elgato may be blameless, but that doesn't help its product's reception any. Should we blame Elgato for that? The Deluxe has no trouble when connected via an adaptor to a fixed roof-top antenna, so there's nothing amiss with the hardware. Re-orientate the telescopic antenna for better reception
