therefore requires no external power supply, and contains a full-size coaxial plug.

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.
