I just purchased an EyeTV Hybrid and I'm a little disappointed. I'm wondering if my Mac is underpowered to run it properly.
I have a 1.66 Duo Core Mac Mini 120GB HDD 1GB RAM
OSX 10.4.8 and EyeTV 2.3.1
I make sure other apps (Itunes, browsers etc.) are all closed.
I can view tv fine but as soon as i come to record (with or without watching live tv as well) the recording is very broken up, generally unwatchable - or at the least very annoying to watch.
I'm recording on the highest setting (DVD 90 Minutes setting). If I switch to a lower (DVD 180) its a pretty underwhelming picture.
Is my MAC just too slow to be doing this?
Any comments would be appreciated.
Thanks
