JUST THE BASICS : ElGato announced a new lower-cost budget TV tuner for Mac (or Windows PC) that is strictly for Over-The-Air HD antenna based reception - the Elgato EyeTV One PC and Apple Compatible TV Tuner. Lacking Analog video capture functions and QAM decoding for Digital Cable reception, this sub-$100 tuner may be right for those of use who don't and won't pay for cable TV month after month - and are more than content with our locally available stations from an indoor or outdoor antenna....

| Apple TV Tuner Market Ready For DTV Transition |
| 2009-04-26 21:49:42 |
This switch to Digital television is a slow process. Not an 'event' really, but simply a rapidly evolving shift in television reception. Remember, the DTV ‘extension’ to June 12th 2009 still allows over-the-air TV stations to go all Digital BEFORE THEN. So the remaining Analog stations you can receive will become fewer and fewer in the weeks ahead. Under the revised law, TV stations are simply required by the FCC to *announce* their black-out date to viewers *before* they flip the switch to ATSC Digital.Even that 'Blackout Date' ain't necessarily going to be totally black. Many rural areas are and will continue to be served by TRANSLATOR STATIONS still broadcasting in Analog. (Another reason why a TV converter box *with Analog Pass-Through* or a auto-switching HYBRID Mac TV tun...

| SageTV Media Center For Mac |
| 2009-02-21 05:47:27 |
SageTV continues progress on their multi-platform TV Media Center softtware - now at version 6.5.9 for Mac. I've tried it with one of the Apple Macintosh supported tuners below - specifically Hauppauge's HVR950 non-QAM tuner with an outdoor ATSC antenna with no success pulling in stations. Was a little overwhelmed by the 'Setup Assistant' which is so extensive and lengthy it felt more like a SETUP INTERRIGATOR. And of course it wasn't till I was deep in the process that trying to identify the tuner hardware and actually receive any signal was where it failed. Would have been nice if: 1. The Setup was much more automated, and 2. Recognizing the TV hardware successfully first should preceed attempting subsequent issues like screen aspect ratio, location and program guide info. Will have to d...
