running two analog usb tv tuners

[Stylez]

Hello,

I am new to the mac scene and I was investigating whether it's possible to connect two analog usb-tuners (Elgato) to a mini or macbook pro and get them to work, so I can record and watch different channels at the same time?

I'm not sure if this is being sold yet, but....

I know, but I will need two Analog tuners.

This is for digital over the air, I have no use for that where I live

Ahhh, sorry, I missed that part. 😱

Take a look at this instead:

Apparently, dual analog support with two tuners is beta-level. Some users report it works and others report it as sketch.

Thank you very much, that was the sort of link I needed.

pitty the link from elgato doesn't tell when that was written. If they say they're going to support it I'd like to know when 🙂 It should work, but with bugs..I guess I can give it a try.


If anyone has user experience I'd be glad to hear!

Elgato has been stating that ever since I started using eyetv, it has been almost 2 years and still no improvement in sight to support dual tuners.

The EyeTV Diversity is a dual tuner dongle right out of the box.

Ok, I rephrase, dual tuners such as the Diversity and the TVduo are supported in Eyetv, but multiple tuners are currently unsupported.
