Product Review, EyeTV Hybrid

"Now my iMac is an HDTV and DVR in one. They EyeTV Hybrid works way better than I expected, and I am happy with it. This is a great solution for using a Mac as TV in a guest room, a dorm room, an office, or even a living room in a cramped apartment.

EyeTV Hybrid also works as a pass-through device, so you can connect a VCR and convert all your old VHS tapes to digital format for editing, archiving, and burning to DVD."

Product Review, EyeTV Hybrid

"The EyeTV Hybrid can be summed up it one word…amazing. It can be used in place of a TV or a DVR, making it perfect for small spaces like dorms and apartments."

Product Review, EyeTV Hybrid

EyeTV Hybrid gewinnt den DIGITAL FERNSEHEN-Vergleichstest "Kabelfernsehen am PC" und erzielt die Testwertung "Sehr gut".

Resümee der Tester: "Dennoch konnte die Mac-Lösung von Elgato am meisten überzeugen, denn hier stimmen Aufbau und Umfang der Software sowie der Installationsprozess des Sticks."

Product Review, EyeTV DTT Deluxe

"This is quite possibly the best USB dongle ever. It’s designed to be small enough for even the ultra-portable MacBook Air, but tucked away inside its tiny shell is a Freeview tuner to turn that special someone’s Mac into a telly."

Product Review, Turbo.264

“Le turbo.264 d'Elgato est une vraie merveille pour les amateurs de films sur lecteur Mp3/video portable!  Rapide, ultra simple et performant, le turbo.264 permet de gagner du temps tout en vous laissant utiliser votre ordinateur pour d'autres tâches!  Simple, car vous n'avez qu'à glisser-déposé et lancer l'encodage!”

Product Review, EyeTV DTT Deluxe

"Elgato’s all-in products for TV on the Mac are great and the software is almost perfect, and in this case the tuner is tiny. Ideal for laptop users, the DTT Deluxe gives you truly portable TV.

Elgato EyeTV DTT Mac digital TV tuner

...Elgato’s ace-in-the-hole remains the powerful EyeTV software, which is easy to use and provides useful features for recording programmes and exporting them onto portable devices such as an iPod. That combination of affordable hardware and very versatile software makes the EyeTV DTT an excellent choice.

Product Review, Turbo.264

"Réencoder une vidéo d’un format vers un autre est une opération très consommatrice en temps calcul. L’ordinateur doit lire la vidéo DivX, par exemple, tout en la réencodant au format H.264. La clé turbo. 264 d’Elgato réduit le temps d’encodage en fournissant au Mac un coprocesseur spécialisé. Le processeur central ne s’occupe alors que de la lecture et de menues autres opérations, le réencodage étant réalisé par la clé."

Gift Guide, Turbo.264

"The Turbo.264 from Elgato is really handy if you watch a lot of video on your iPod or iPhone. Video files that you download onto your iPod first need to be converted into the compressed H.264 video format. This can take a long time – even with a powerful Mac – so the Turbo.264 includes a special video processor that dramatically speeds up the conversion process and leaves your Mac's main processor free so that you can carry on doing other things at the same time."

Gift Guide, EyeTV Diversity

"Elgato makes several TV tuners for the Mac, but the EyeTV Diversity is the most versatile. It includes two TV tuners which allow you to watch two programs at once or, more usefully, watch one program and record another. It's a digital tuner so you need to live in an area with good digital reception, but Elgato also makes a Hybrid model that can pick analogue TV signals in areas with poor digital reception."

Product Review, EyeTV Diversity

"A unique feature of this HD dual-tuner is the ability to make the two
tuners work as one, which we found dramatically improves reception indoors
from the two mini antennas. While a media centre mode is not included in
Apple's OSX, Elgato's EyeTV3 software is very good and from this year has
introduced support for IceTV's EPG."
