It will take the signal from your cable or antenna (including ClearQAM signals) and allow you to watch television on your Mac. What's great about the EyeTV is that it solves every one of my issues and gives me lots of freedom with my shows, with no monthly fees - an exciting solution for DVR noobs like me, or veterans as well.īasically, the EyeTV is a DVR and analog/digital TV converter for your Macintosh computer. That's not to say that I never looked upon my friends' ReplayTV or TiVo units with jealousy, or that I never watched TV - but more that I was never really a TV "geek."ĭVR technology has been available for quite some time, and you could say that I'm a "late adopter" here.

I've had more PDA's and cellphones than I can count and have a pretty extensive vintage game collection.
a Magic card player, a Pokemon addict, a Civilization builder, a "Second Quest" completer. Throughout my geeky history, I've been an awful lot of things.
