Show notes for this episode:
- Elgato sells the HDHomeRun bundled with its EyeTV software, and the package retails for about $160.
- Don’t have a Mac? Then simply buy the device from Silicon Dust, which will cost you only $130.
- I kept running into issues with EyeTV not recognizing the HDHomeRun as soon as I changed my network configuration. Repeating the guided setup with the EyeTV Setup assistant finally did the trick.

this seems to be a great technology. as of now i am using online tv tvhook.com for my tv needs. but i will give this a try and see if this would work for me.
tvhook.com looks like a scam – it doesn’t even list the “channels” that you get access to anywhere on the site? What kind of content is available? First-run USA major network shows from ABC/CBS/NBC, etc.?
