Elgato Brings Free Over-The-Air HDTV To Your Mac Or PC
If you're interested in turning your computer into a HDTV and DVR, then Elgato's
new EyeTV One may be something you're interested in. This digital TV tuner connects
to your TV antenna and delivers over-the-air TV broadcasts to your Mac or PC. Best of all, since
these over-the-air broadcasts are free and offer excellent quality, you could finally
nix the cable company's monthly bill for digital TV services once and for all
(that is, assuming you're happy with the number of stations available over the
air).
For Mac users, EyeTV One comes with EyeTV 3 software that lets you watch, rewind, fast forward, and pause live TV. With this software, you can also access a Program Guide, record TV, edit out unwanted content, and much more. The software can even record an entire season of your favorite TV shows and send recordings to iTunes to sync with an iPhone, iPod, or Apple TV. For Windows users, EyeTV One is compatible with Windows 7 and works with Windows Media Center.
To set up and use the EyeTV One, you must connect the TV tuner to a USB 2.0 port, attach your TV antenna, and follow the on-screen instructions provided via the software. You can connect an indoor or outdoor antenna without needing an adapter.

EyeTV One comes with a built-in, flexible USB extender cable, so it can be used on a Mac or PC without blocking other ports. EyeTV One also sports a standard full-size coaxial plug and can be connected to an indoor or outdoor antenna without the need for an additional adapter.
