#ANTENNA FOR EYETV HYBRID HOW TO#
Even then, there was no virtual remote and no indication how to navigate the EyeTV setup.
I couldn't get the EyeTV Hybrid going until using the TV feature in Windows Media Center.
#ANTENNA FOR EYETV HYBRID SOFTWARE#
On a Toshiba Satellite U505 laptop running Windows 7, the EyeTV software was so clunky that it could have used a quick-start guide. To set up my Macbook, I only had to tinker with firewall settings that allowed it to communicate with the Touch.
It displays programming in high-definition on computers with Intel Core Duo processors, but captures/records video only in standard definition. It launches with three screens: live TV, a program guide and a virtual remote with clickable channel change and other controls. When viewed on a Mac, the EyeTV Hybrid software is Apple-like in its ease of use. Elgato supplies a full-size remote control - is it possible to watch TV without one? - and cables that make it easy to transfer movies from a DVD or VCR, or family videos from a camcorder. It comes with a year's free use of TVGuide listings, but free program information is included in both over-the-air (antenna) and cable broadcasts. The EyeTV Hybrid dongle - a jump-drive look-alike that plugs into a USB port - also has a butt-end connector for an antenna, cable line or satellite feed. If you're at Disney World, you can still check in on your favorite baseball team, live, as long as your Mac in Bethlehem, Pa., is running and you've got a Wi-Fi or 3G connection for your iPhone/Touch.
An iPod Touch as a television? Yes, as long as a Mac is awake, the iPhone-Touch user can start the EyeTV software to change channels, schedule recordings or watch recorded shows. I'm not about to relinquish my big-screen HDTV, but I never thought "Pawn Stars" could be so exciting until I watched it on an iPod Touch, in the palm of my hand, over a Wi-Fi network.
