Reviews

I really can’t say enough about how well everything worked... The EyeTV 250 plus is perhaps Elgato’s finest product to date.

Ilene Hoffman, Reviews Editor, MacNN

"If your loved one likes television programs, consider the Elgato EyeTV 250+, a little device that lets you watch and record television programs on your Mac as well as convert them for viewing on your iPhone or iPod. I don’t know what I’d do without mine."
- Houston Chronicle

“I give it my highest recommendation.”
- Bob “Dr. Mac” LeVitus, The Mac Observer

"The EyeTV 250 Plus is as complete a cable/analog video solution as I've seen. I've been making use of these devices since the days of Mac OS 9, and I have yet to see one as automated and powerful as this offering from Elgato."
Kirk Hiner, Applelinks.com

“Easy to install and even easier to use this is a must for people looking to get content off the TV or a third source like a VCR.”
- Pocket-lint Gadget News & Reviews

“This is a welcome addition to the EyeTV family.”
- MacUser, UK

“I can think of a dozen applications for the 250plus. From the student dorm with Mac and games console to the family who are taking the digital TV step who have family VHS tapes to convert.”
DigMo! UK

"I just started using the Elgato EyeTV 250 plus to transfer old home videos from VHS to my mac and all I can say is WOW!  Aesthetically the eye tv looks and feels like it was designed by Johnathan Ive and complements the apple tv and mac mini perfectly."
