Screw Tivo and Replay

If you have a Mac then check out Eye TV. It’s a DVR that uses your Mac for all the scheduling, storage and playback. It’s a box with RCA and RF inputs and a USB output. It MPEG encodes those inputs and spits it out the USB port to your Mac.

The software then saves the show to your Mac hard drive, just like with a Tivo, except no monthly service charge and it’s on a real computer. So watch TV on the bus to work off your laptop or share mpegs with your friends.
