Macworld Reviews EyeTV250
Macworld published a review of the EyeTV 250, which is a hardware MPEG encoder that allows you to watch TV on your Mac much like a PVR. Elegato sells it for $200.
You can archive shows onto DVDs or onto your video iPod. The good news is that because the EyeTV 250 is an external hardware MPEG encoder, it can run on older Macs.
Overall, Macworld says that the EyeTV 250 is a “great personal video recorder for Mac users.”
Pros: Analog tuner; strong scheduling software; remote scheduling; one-click iPod video export; option to turn off hardware encoder for zero latency video gaming.
Cons: Requires external power adapter.
