![]() If you have any version of Windows 7, you should have (or can install) Windows Media Center. This isn’t a review of Windows 7 or the Windows Media Center, so I’m going to breeze through this pretty quickly. I did not verify this, but I expect the IR codes used are compatible with/the same as Hauppauge-based tuners/remotes, so it may be fairly simple to use a universal remote. The remote is one of those standard gray slabs we all know and love. The left edge has the IR receiver for the remote. Not that you can use it with it removed, anyway – but we’ll get back to that later. The large antenna/coax adapter on the right is often not shown in promotional/web shots on the elgato web site, but the review unit arrived with it attached and I wasn’t able to remove it with gentle tugging. The device itself is roughly the size of your average USB memory stick. For the review I set the EyeTV up on a couple Windows Laptops (an HP “entertainment” class laptop with Core 2 Duo CPU and Windows 7 Home Premium, and an Acer Aspire One netbook with 2GB ram, running Windows 7 ultimate) and one MacBook.īefore we get to the nuts and bolts, let me show you the reviver and remote up close. The photo above shows you everything in the box: the EyeTV receiver, a USB extension cable, the breakout cable for connecting analog sources, Mac software, and the IR Remote. If you’re a Mac, the included EyeTV 3 software enables viewing and recording for you. The EyeTV is fully supported without additional drivers under Windows 7, via Windows Media Center. It even has adapters so you can hook up a Composite or S-Video source (such as an analog camcorder) to capture standard definition video. It’s “hybrid” in that it will tune just about anything you’ve got: analog cable/tv, Digital/HDTV, and Clear QAM digital cable. The elgato EyeTV Hybrid is a beautiful little USB 2.0 TV Tuner for Mac or Windows computers. If you buy something through the links on this page, we may earn a commission at no cost to you. (this time eyeTV Hybrid EyeTV 3.6.9(7514) supports HEVC codec (h.We use affiliate links. Thery is not any hint of supported new hardware product in this release (searched for pic or firmware in dmg) called eyeTV-T2Īnd I fear my hardware will be useless for DVB-2 but more fear I cannot trust Geniatech for future products There is no menu entry in the EyeTV assistent for Anntena DVB-T2 signals My resume : build 7511 has no h265 Encoder or Decoder yet. Well, now the question: will we ever be able to recieve anythink of DVB-T2 or it is just a new sticker on old package. Well, the Tuner I read can recive DVB-T2 HD signals not all of the bandwith of DVB-T2 but it can, second It just needs H265 for recieving HD. I spent about 400€ for three EyeTV Sticks two of them Hybrid one DVB-T only one from 2014 other before with Analog-In . (Nine years after widespread use of DVB-T2 started.)īuild No 7511 has no licenced HEVC codec inside I searched, AVC maybe, but no copyright hint in info box from MainConcept about h265 Still saying all the above, it would be nice if EyeTV was ahead of the curve for a change and did implement HEVC before it was needed rather than as an example taking years and years to add DVB-T2 support. The un-encrypteed FreeSAT service in the UK is as far as I am aware not doing any 4K broadcasts yet and hence again not needing or using HEVC. Sky is encrypted so adding support for HEVC for those would be hard to justify. Note: While there are no DVB-T2 4K test broadcasts in the UK that I am aware of I believe there are some live HEVC broadcasts over DVB-S2 on Sky UK. ![]() There are however three bugs using EyeTV and SiliconDust tuners. So for the UK and DVB-T2 HEVC is not yet needed.įor what its also worth I already am able to receive and view DVB-T2 channels here in the UK using a SiliconDust HDHR4-2DT network tuner and EyeTV software. In the UK at least DVB-T2 uses just H.264, at this point there are no test 4K channels on DVB-T2 in the UK which is when I would expect HEVC to be used.
