Elgato’s Eye-TV and the Apple TV, makes the Mac my favourite PVR solution

September 29th, 2009, posted in Mac Stuff

Awhile back (Pre-Mac) we were in Future Shop and I saw someone buying something called “AirTunes” or something like that. Kirk sniffed at it and said wireless sound wasn’t any good.

Oh how times change.

Shortly after we bought the MacPro last year, Kirk delved into the Apple TV and started to change his mind a bit.

On the PC I used to use an ATI All-in-Wonder card that had a built in TV tuner. It was supposed to work as a PVR, but it never really worked all that well. It missed shows, crapped out…basically acted like most things do on a PC…frustratingly inconsistently.

So when I got the MacPro I was looking for something to replace it, and did I ever find the ultimate solution. It takes three things.
