Made for the Mac

With its classic matte aluminum finish and surprisingly small size for such a versatile product, the EyeTV Hybrid is a perfect complement to the Mac. It features a USB 2.0 interface for the streaming of superior quality, uncompressed TV content to your Mac. EyeTV Hybrid is USB powered and therefore requires no external power supply; it also has a standard F connector and does not require an antenna adapter.


Superb quality digital TV recordings

EyeTV Hybrid records digital TV in one quality setting, Lossless. The digital stream is recorded unaltered for full quality digital content as encoded by the broadcaster. EyeTV also supports closed captioning and Dolby® Digital sound.

EyeTV Hybrid records analog television using the encoder built into the EyeTV software together with your Mac’s processor. As a result, the quality of analog recordings depend on the power of your Mac.

EyeTV Hybrid can record from a cable or satellite set top box, video recorder or camcorder, using either composite or S-Video connections. (learn more).




Available in countries supporting the NTSC and ATSC standards (North America, parts of Latin America & Asia). Single EyeTV units do not support all standards; purchase EyeTV in the country you intend to use it in, to ensure support of your local standard.
