TV Tuner Stick for HDTV & Analog TV

The smallest hybrid TV tuner ever released from Elgato, the EyeTV Hybrid packs a lot of features into one very small USB stick. Powerful and versatile, the EyeTV Hybrid is the right choice if you get your TV signal from basic (unscrambled) cable. But that's not all—the EyeTV Hybrid can receive digital TV with an antenna, and capture standard definition video from analog sources such a camcorder or VCR.

Super-small TV tuner that gets the big picture

To watch and record basic cable channels on your computer, simply connect EyeTV Hybrid to the coaxial cable coming straight from the wall; EyeTV Hybrid receives unscrambled digital and analog cable TV.

EyeTV Hybrid also connects to your TV antenna to receive the huge variety of TV shows that are broadcast over-the-air for free. The quality of digital TV that is available with an antenna looks spectacular on your computer's high-resolution display, particularly the many shows that are broadcast in full HDTV.

Capture video from a set-top box or VCR

EyeTV Hybrid can capture video from analog sources such as a set-top box, a VCR, or a camcorder. Simply connect the video source to your computer using the included video cable for composite (RCA) or S-Video; then watch and even record the picture on your computer in standard definition. In the US, EyeTV 3 software offers additional support 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.

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.
