Viewing over 3G also worked well, though video would frequently re-buffer, especially in congested areas.

Content streamed from a 2.66GHz MacBook Pro to an iPhone 3GS looked as if it were being played locally. My experience streaming over WiFi was flawless. The process is very intuitive and also nondestructive, as original recordings are kept alongside the edited copies.In addition to functioning as a DVR, the device can also stream both live and recorded programs to an iPhone using the optional EyeTV app ($4.99). Users can trim out commercials and split up long recordings with a few clicks of the mouse. Want to edit the recordings before sending them to you mobile device? That can be done within the EyeTV app as well. This makes searching for specific shows or moves extremely easy and I found it to be a nice touch. The converted content is also automatically added into iTunes, complete with title, description, cast, rating, and more. In addition, recordings can be exported to all the popular formats, including DivX, Windows Media, and native H.264. To set up a recording, all it takes is a click on the record icon located beneath the show listing, the EyeTV software does the rest.Once recorded, content is converted for playback on the iPhone, iPad, or both. Content is stored in a proprietary EyeTV format that weighs in at about 5GB per hour- small hard drives need not apply. The EyeTV HD works just like a stand-alone DVR, but only one program can be recorded at a time. This service is subscription based ($19.99/year) but Elgato includes one free year with hardware purchases.Programs can be recorded manually, or by adding them to the record schedule. The programming guide is powered by TVGuide and matched up accurately with my FiOS on-screen listings. By using an IR blaster to control the cable box, cannels can be switched by the EyeTV software, thus enabling scheduled recording- just like a standard DVR. As soon as the cables are connected and software installed, the little guy can be put to work recording content to your computer's hard drive. Initial setup time is less than 15 minutes and is very straightforward.

The device was born out of the need to get television shows and movies out of the living room and on to the multitude of devices people are using to get their daily fix.After one week of using the EyeTV HD, I have come to the conclusion that for Mac users, there is no better way to move content from cable box to computer.

It is called the EyeTV HD and pulls 720p HD cable content right from your cable box.
Overall, great product but requires some computing horsepower to really shine.Last week, Elgato announced a new TV tuner/DVR solution for the Mac. This review taken verbatim from my tech column.
