Re: EyeTV device replacement

[Neil Houghton]

I must admit that since I got a (quite cheap) smart TV I have not watched very 
much live TV, or gone to my old TV recordings/downloads or played any of my 
DVDs.

I don't even subscribe to any pay TV services - I spend most of my viewing time 
with SBS On-demand (great European TV series) and iView (but getting harder to 
find good stuff on iView)

However, since I do have an attached USB HD, I can also pause or record live TV.

Of course my viewing tastes are probably not mainstream - for example, I have 
no interest in TV sport.

It seems to me that conventional TV (watching live TV) and even recording live 
TV for later viewing will soon go the way of letters with stamps on them - a 
nostalgic (or not so nostalgic) memory for us oldies  ;o)

I guess time will tell.


Cheers
 

Neil

Thanks Walter

I will get in touch with Daniel.

The Geniatech website seems to be blocked for on-line sales.  Possibly only 
open to EU countries?

Have to dust off the set top box and DVD burner!

Cheers

Hi Alan,

When my device failed I got a new one from Daniel (McWizardry). When EyeTV was 
still owned by Elgato. That was much much cheaper, it was a Hybrid type with 2 
separate coaxial inputs.

Cheers
Walter

EyeTV device replacement

[Alan Smith]

My EyeTV device (DTT deluxe) is damaged and unrepairable.  Any suggestions for 
a replacement?  EyeTV preferred but are other brands available for iMac 
recording and AppleTV playback?

Geniatech website displays a range of models but for Europe.  Diversity and 
Hybrid models are listed which used to be suitable for Australia. Amazon AU 
advertise Hybrid - for $800 plus (!) - but specify it as NTSC which I thought 
was the old American standard.  

Cheers
Alan
