How does this work? I have an NTL box.. would I plug the EyeTV box into the back of it, then a signal is sent to the antenna thats connected to a Mac??
I have no idea!!

Allows you to receive and record the 30 odd digital channels that are available in the UK, and similarly for other countries in Europe.
What is nice about it is how small it is. Also it comes with its own antenna - hence I got one with my iBook 12", although it'll be delivered next week. Freeview on the move sounds good to me, as does being able to record shows without buying an expensive tivo style box.

Hattig said:Yeah! Scrap the NTL subscription TV (I did! Sod that waste of time, 28 quid a month for the family package, and the naff package (mostly the same as Freeview) is what? 20 quid now? Sure, take out the phone line that's included, but in the end it is throwing away money.
I'd need a new aerial to receive freeview where I live anyway, so this saves me the money for that as well. I'll pick up an iBook TV out adapter soon as well for playing movies back on the TV. Ideally in the long run I'll pair it up with an Intel based Mac Mini as a home media box.

Is there a list of program's that are available in the manchester area???

BBC B 32k said:i went through the setup process and a one point I was directed to register on the tvtv site. the elgato software must tell the site you have permission to register. I did initially skip this bit but just went through the setup again to do it later.
the tvtv site is a little daunting at first but seems easy enough after ten minuets playing.
the set up assistant is under the <Help> menu.

OK, thanks.BBC B 32k said:popped into Apple store London yesterday and got rid of £100 on an eyeTV DTT - BRILLIANT

Did you even bother to read the item description?mauly said:So, you don't even need to have a digi box!? wow that sounds cool
mauly said:Anyone know if you can get interactive and radio thru the EyeTV DTT?
Also, when you set a program to be recorded from the tvtv site, does EyeTV need to be open already or will it wake it up.... have tried to record a few times and sometimes in my recorded folder it say it has recorded 0secs!! and when I have tried to play the file it comes up with error 50!!!!
I still chuffed tho!!!!
Im from Manchester too and have a Freeview box - most of Manchester will be able to receive the full package. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeview is the best place to keep up to date with the very latest channel lineup.mauly said:Good idea, I'm sure I can link my iMac to my tv the same way too!!? right?
