Reviews

"The EyeTV's best feature, however, isn't its hardware but its software. Its program guide offers the same kind of point-and-click simplicity that TiVo owners have grown accustomed to, but in an iTunes-esque interface that allows find-as-you-type searching for programs. Oh, and you can use a real keyboard to type your searches too."

- Rob Pegoraro, The Washington Post

...despite the lack of competition in this market, EyeTV is innovating at a phenomenal pace. Very few other companies produce similar software, but Elgato are not resting on their laurels. Not only is EyeTV a great piece of software at the moment, it seems to be improving regularly with new features and bug fixes.

If you’re looking for a TV solution on your Mac I can’t recommend EyeTV highly enough.

- David Appleyard, MacAppStorm

"If you have a compatible TV tuner, Elgato's EyeTV 3 software is simply the best stuff around for using your Mac mini as a PVR. We've written a lot about EyeTV over the years and it remains the best PVR this side of TiVo."

- TUAW.com, Setting up the Ultimate Mac mini Home Theater

"TV Guide data is a huge asset to EyeTV that will make the viewing experience that much better, even if it isn’t free. Apple users are accustomed to paying more for quality, and I don’t think this is an exception. You really can’t ask for much more, and with Elgato, I don’t think you have to, because they’re always hard at work somehow making their products even better."
Jake Gaecke, appletell

"What’s great about EyeTV is the incredible scope and generally smart, intuitive functionality of the software: what you get here is now officially leagues beyond what TiVo and its many lesser competitors offer in today’s digital video recorders."
Jeremy Horwitz, Editor-in-Chief iLounge.com

"EyeTV 3's standout feature is surely smart guides. If you watch a lot of TV or often hear about programmes retrospectively, you'll wonder how you lived without it."
Alan Stonebridge, MacUser Magazine

"Elgato Systems' EyeTV is one of those products I simply can’t live without. (Well, okay, I could, but I wouldn’t like it). Version trois continues the product’s run of robust updates."
Dennis Sellers, Macsimumnews

"...the TV tuner is only as good as the software that controls it...Elgato's EyeTV 3 software is just about perfect."
Jim Rossman, Dallas News
