      Comments about Elgato Systems EyeTV Hybrid USB Digital TV Tuner for Mac:

      What's great about this product? Well, not having a TV, DVD player, radio and digital tuner plugged-in; what's that mean? Less energy. I didn't realize it tuned in the radio.
      I'm using this thing to replace a lot of items but also transfer my VHS to DVD (things that haven't been released yet on DVD).
      Having TV Guide was another bonus and surprise.
      Recycling is going to be full this week. Thanks!
      The remote is a plus, though it is a bit slow in responding, but how can I complain when I am now down to only one instead of three.

            [...] The digital tuner works well with even an older Mac.
