Hello All,
Elgato 300 is a firewire digital videorecorder working with satellite
TV. You can have TV on your Mac, record the program on your HD and
edit same before burning a DVD.
Sounds like a nice toy but before I buy I would like to hear if any of
you have had experience with this machine and what was your
conclusion.

TIA, greetings, Andre.
Hello,
All Elgato products are awsome. . .BUT be sure to read the system
requirements for each EyeTV.

Thank you for your reaction, Zoltan.
I have a 17" PB 1.33 GHz and 1.5 GB Ram. Have about 55 Gigs free on my 
HD but will be using a 160 GB external firewire HD for recording from 
the satellite. This should be alright for the EyeTV 300.

Greetings, André.

Hello,
All Elgato products are awsome. . .BUT be sure to read the system 
requirements for each EyeTV.  These devices require an enormous amount 
of HDD space to record shows.  I use the EyeTV USB model, which uses 
640 megs for a one hour episode of Alias or 330 megs for a 30 minutes 
episode of Family Guy.  (As you can see, I use mine for QUALITY 
entertainment. . .hehe.)  Anyway, the newer firewire models require a 
minimum of an average of 2 gigs of space for your typical show, so keep 
that in mind, and you really need a min of a G4 500 to get decent 
performance out of it.   These are but a few examples as to why I went 
with the lesser USB model.  The only real cool thing about the 300 is 
the DVB-S digital broadcast tuner.  The only downside to this is 
availability.  It's not in my area yet. . .so if you get one and it is, 
let me know how the signal is, etc.
