Also, I was reminded of EyeTV's annoying habit of resizing the window every time a standard definition commercial comes on. Not that I would make a habit of doing so the combined effort of decoding 2 1080i streams into half sized windows takes 175% of a core, leaving a measly 25% to do anything else. A second exhaustive scan the next morning found 19 sub-channels.Īt this point, I could watch TV, in fact, I could watch 2 separate TV streams at once on my MacBook, with sound from the frontmost stream. Maybe El Gato could speed this up by using both tuners. It would be nice if it would just take the information from my TitanTV account. A later quick search found 12 channels, so the exhaustive search may be worth it.

It found 15 digital sub-channels in my area, which is a bit low but it is the height of summer and tree leaves down the street block my path to the Boston antenna farm. Then I had it search for available channels which took over an hour-812 frequencies 5 seconds each-using the exhaustive option. The first problem was figuring out I had to run the Setup Assistant from the Help menu so EyeTV could find the HDHomerun which it quickly did and it immediately came up streaming 2 digital channels in separate windows.

New purchasers of a HDHomerun can get an EyeTV bundle for $200, meaning El Gato is charging $30 for a two seat license above the $170 price for just the HDHomerun.

I already owned a copy of EyeTV 2 and El Gato tech support gave me a link to the 2.4.2 update for free. Plus, using EyeTV with my HDHomerun cost nothing extra. If I were putting together a home theatre PC, the HDHomerun is the only ATSC/QAM tuner I would consider it's just so much more flexible than something tied to a single computer.

The HDHomerun can do both functions only better: This only makes sense, as El Gato no longer makes the closest approximation to the HDHomerun, the long lamented EyeTV 500 Firewire tuner with its support for digital over the air broadcasts and unencrypted cable streams.

Ĭruising the AVS Forum Mac Home Theatre Forum I was gratified to see El Gato and Silicon Dust had come to together and done the obvious: bundle El Gato's best on platform EyeTV DVR software with Silicon Dust's networked HDHomerun high definition digital tuner.
