Included with the USB micro-stick are a couple of aerials. This USN stick measurements are 57 x 17 x 9mm (L x W x D), making it a little larger than nano size but small enough not to cause any problems when positioning the stick on even heavily populated array of ports. It is definitely the smallest television tuner I have seen and is well qualified for its Micro-Stick designation noted on the product box.
Or, you can roll your own as you like: MPEG Program Stream, MPEG Elementary Stream, DV, DV 16:9, HDV 720p, HDV 1080i, QuickTime Movie, MPEG-4, H.264, 3G, DivX AVI, AAC audio, Apple Lossless Audio.Having looked at a number of USB television tuners in the past, my initially impression of the Elgato unit was related to its size.
There are also presents for Email, Web, iMovie, iMovie HD, iDVD, DVD Studio Pro, Toast, Sony PSP and iTunes. 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. 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.
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!).
