Overview
EyeTV 250 Plus is a hybrid TV tuner for the Mac with a powerful hardware encoder for higher-quality recordings and smaller- sized video files. EyeTV 250 Plus receives both free over-the-air HDTV as well as analog TV, and offers a complete solution for moving your video collection from VHS tape to DVD-Video.
Watch live TV on your Mac
Pause the TV show while you get a snack, rewind and watch that great play again, or fast forward past the advertisements. Scale the TV window down so you can watch TV while you surf the web, or go "Full Screen" and channel surf from the couch using an EyeTV or Apple Remote.
Organize channels
EyeTV provides detailed information about each television channel. Drag and drop the ones you watch most frequently into a "favorites" list, or go a step further and organize your sports, news, or movie channels into their own lists.
Record your favorite shows
Hit the record button now or cruise through the Program Guide and pick the shows you want to record up to two weeks in advance. You can even set up recordings over the Internet while you're away from home (tvtv/TitanTV/IceTV account required). Fans of radio programming, take note: EyeTV also enables you to record and edit DVB radio.
