Hi. I am thinking of getting an Elgato product to go with my ordered MacBook, and have found the EyeTV Hybrid. A few questions about it: can I connect it to the normal tv ports in houses in the UK? And I have Sky Digital at my house. With this, I can pick up what channel is on the Sky box via any TV port in the house with a normal TV. Will I be able to do this with EyeTV Hybrid? Thanks!!!
 
Don't know about Sky ( haven't got it ), but it will work connected to a normal TV port. It works very well with a MacBook, especially the Front Row integration.
 
are you using the coax connection or composite or svideo?
and how is the quality
I just want to know because its on my list possible soon to buys
 
I've got Sky connected via composite and it works great with my EyeTV Hybrid. The quality is crystal clear when in a window and looks better than it did on my tv. Full screen it doesn't look so good simply because I'm stretching a low res PAL signal to a 2560x1600 resolution. From a distance it looks great though.
