EyeTV Hybrid turns your Mac into the world's most affordable flat-screen HDTV. And because it receives both analog and digital TV, EyeTV Hybrid is an ideal solution for the digital transition.

But EyeTV Hybrid does more than just TV. Thanks to the included EyeTV 3 software, EyeTV Hybrid is also a digital video recorder (DVR) with a comprehensive Program Guide and editing capabilities. It's a DVR that can put your television recordings on a Mac, iPod, iPhone, or Apple TV with one easy click of a button, and can export them for use in other Mac video applications. What's more, EyeTV Hybrid receives FM radio. All this, in one small TV tuner stick.

It's the ideal solution for someone who wants both an analog and digital TV solution for the Mac in one small USB stick.

 

Superb Quality Digital TV Recordings

EyeTV Hybrid records digital TV in one quality setting, Lossless. The digital stream is recorded unaltered for full quality digital content as encoded by the broadcaster. EyeTV also supports closed captioning and Dolby® Digital sound.

EyeTV Hybrid can record from a cable or satellite set top box, video recorder or camcorder, using either composite or S-Video connections. In the US, additional support is offered for set top boxes.

EyeTV Hybrid processes analog video using the encoder built into the EyeTV software together with your Mac's processor. As a result, the quality of analog recordings depends on the power of your Mac.

Made for the Mac

With its clean lines, matte aluminum finish, and surprisingly small size, EyeTV Hybrid is the premier accessory for the Mac. It features a USB 2.0 interface for the streaming of superior quality, uncompressed TV content and requires no external power supply. EyeTV Hybrid has a standard F connector and does not require an antenna adapter.

FM Radio

Tune in to local FM radio on your Mac and record broadcasts to enjoy later on your iPod or iPhone.

Navigate with an Apple Remote

Tired of remote controls scattered around the living room? So are we. EyeTV Hybrid works with an Apple Remote. It will certainly work with an EyeTV IR remote control as well.

Superb quality digital TV recordings

EyeTV Hybrid records digital TV in one quality setting, Lossless. The digital stream is recorded unaltered, and so you're getting full quality digital content as encoded by the broadcaster. EyeTV supports multilingual programming and Dolby® Digital sound. Analog TV can be recorded via EyeTV 2's software encoder, and the quality depends on the Mac's processor power.
Available in countries supporting the NTSC and ATSC standards (North America, parts of Latin America & Asia, including Japan). Single EyeTV units do not support all standards; purchase EyeTV in the country you intend to use it in, to ensure support of your local standard.
