elgato.com — It's supercharged DTT, with up to 50% better reception and picture quality in any room of your house. It's DTT in a car, bus, or train at 160 km/h. It's watching one DTT channel and recording another, or watching two channels, at the same time.

Get the eyetv hybrid.. i live on the north side of chicago and i get excellent reception with a rooftop antenna (don't bother w/ this if you don't have that...the antenna is the KEY). All the major networks and every other channel on broadcast comes in reliably..and eyetv does a great job recording it all. Be aware though..hdtv shows are about 7gb for an hour...so get that external drive fired up.

Not dugg, because the poster acts like "DTT" is a known and used abbreviation.

ATSC's modulation scheme (8-VSB) works very poorly for moving receivers. The rapidly changing reception conditions make it impossible to receive reliable transport stream data. ATSC was designed for range and lower transmitter output power to non-moving receivers which constitute the vast majority of television receivers.In contrast, the DVB-T modulation scheme (C-OFDM) is much less sensitive to movement, but requires higher transmitter output power and has less range.

The EyeTV software is really the best part of the package. It used to be a little flaky a few years ago, but the new one, EyeTV 2.0, works perfectly and has a really nice interface. It also has an export to iPod feature that I use on occasion. I have the original USB EyeTV from 2002. Nice to see something stay useful for more than just a few months.

This article is kinda old: SO MUCH has changed in the Apple Mac TV tuner marketplace! And alot of PC switchers are curious about options to watch, record, edit and export television programming on the Macintosh platform. Some really great info on TV tuners for Mac is at WWW.MAC-DIGITAL-TV-TUNERS.COM -- With the switchover to all-digital antenna reception looming in 2009 - and cable companies moving towards digital too, alot of old analog tuner gizmos are gonna become obsolete soon.
