The EyeTV 250 produces acceptable result with simpler process. To summarize my blog: the ADVC 110 produces better pictures when converting from analog sources to digital at the cost of time and user’s effort. However, the picture quality is not as good as the Canopus ADVC 110. Digital programming: This is where the hybrid wins, but it still need an antenna to produce decent pictures.īesides watching TV, one can use the EyeTV to convert old analog sources such as VHS, analog camcorder tapes to DVD.Portability: the hybrid is more portable, but I doubt its off-the-air picture quality is any good.I am interested to see the numbers on EyeTV Hybrid. I use Activity monitor and find that EyeTV 250 only uses on average 6-7% CPU power on my 2GHz MacBook Core Duo (not Core 2) and with 2GB RAM. software encoding: This is the primary reason I choose the EyeTV 250 it encodes video in the hardware instead of software. Portability aside, it would be excellent for someone with a desktop computer and limited space.Ī month ago, I purchased the EyeTV 250 instead of the hybrid after considering the following factors: However, if you wish to use it wirelessly, the mobility factor is significantly hampered. Overall, the Elgato EyeTV Hybrid is a neat device with a good interface. No automatic recording of the Rose Bowl for me. I was unable to properly test the automatic record function, as each time I attempted to connect to TitanTV’s program guide to select a program to record, the server returned an error.Īfter a few not-so-quick calls, it appears that the problem is not with Elgato or TitanTV, but with my cable provider who is currently upgrading service in my area, which will be completed in late January 2007. The EyeTV app turns your iPad and iPhone into the ultimate portable television.

ELGATO EYETV MANUAL
The manual record function is intuitive and even supports iPod formats. The quality is rather good, and can be viewed in a variety of sizes, including full-screen. The software immediately found the analog channels, to search for the digital channels I had to click the auto-tune button. Disappointed in the ATSC functions of the EyeTV Hybrid, I decided to test it with my home cable connection.
