Questions & Answers for Elgato EyeTV DTT 2008

Yes, the EyeTV hardware will work with AT&T Uvese. You will be able to watch and record your programs on your Mac and import to your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad.

The EyeTV app, does have some limitations with Uverse. While connected to YOUR wi-fi network, you can watch live TV via your iPhone, touch or iPad; however, Uverse ports will not support UPnP (UPnP - Universal Plug in Play) and therefore the 'watch on the go' options is not available.
Also, the Uverse STB must be on, in order to stream via portable devices. EyeTV cannot turn the Uverse STB on or off.

Hi

I've just got the Elgato EyeTV Diversity and it works well with Saorview transmissions in the Dublin area.

I get the domestic channels from RTE and TV3 (RTE 1 & 2, TG4 and TV3) plus the extra digital channels (3e, RTE ONE +1, jr and News Now). Also all the terrestrial and DAB RTE radio channels.

If I was close enough to the border I'm sure I'd be able to pick up the full range of freeview channels too.

It is not on the Saorview approved list of devices but it does seem to work fine for me.

Yes

You can store the files anywhere, you just need EYE TV to watch them in the original format, but you can save them off for your iPod or iTunes using the EYE TV features, in which case they are then fully transferable to any computer.

I record on a Mac Mini and store them on a networked Omega drive to access from the Mini or my iMac

This is basically a "Set Top Box" for your computer.
You plug in your aerial into the EYETV and then connect EYETV to your mac via USB.
This unit will encode the TV signals for your macintosh to take the load of your computer's processors (meaning, not slowing your computer down).
You can also record TV straight to your mac :)

This also comes with a breakout cable so you can connect an external device such as VCR player, PS3, XBOX 360 or Video Camera etc.

It'll also let you convert your recorded TV sessions for you iPhone or iPod or Apple TV.

Hope this helps! :)

NG from Harlow is actually correct this product cannot receive Freeview HD (Terrestrial HD in the UK).

It can receive HDTV in many other european countries which use standard DVB-T for both HD and SD transmission, in the UK terrestrial HD is broadcast using the newer and more efficient DVB-T2 standard.

If you wish to watch/record HDTV you need to buy a satellite option until the DVB-T2 products become available.

Yes, absolutely. In the software menu, go to "view" and then select "keep player windows on top". You can size the TV window however small you like, and place it anywhere on the screen.

EyeTV Hybrid has one tuner so you can only watch one live TV channel at a time (for example the show you are currently recording). But, you can always watch a show that you have already recorded while you work, at the same time that EyeTV is recording a live TV show.

Not sure what you mean by "direct TV" but you can connect any satellite, SD/HD Tuner or aerial to this device :)

And yes, It's so simple to resize the TV!
Just like a quicktime video you can even minimise it :)
