You need the software to control the unit and the software is only available on the Mac. The only out port is a USB port. As to the other comment, DigitalTV is not a recording mechanism. As such all it will provide is a TV signal. The TV Max is a recorder and is more a compliment to digital TV in much the same way a video recorder is. There may be an option to connect to computers via USB on the decoder boxes but something tells me this isn't the case. In any case it would also have to have the software to run it on a PC/Mac and something tells me that Mac support will be limited. The programming guides will be a great feature for use in EyeTV as, like I mentioned in the review, it allows you to simply click on the program you want to record. As it is any tuner that is compatible with EyeTV is the best option as you can simply record to HDD, so long as you have enough hard drive space. - Darryn Lowe Wed, 07 Mar 2007 14:06:35 +0100 http://www.nzmac.com/reviews/hardware/miglia-tvmax.html#comment-104 Unless you are desperate for a TV add on, I would wait till they roll out Digital TV either via freeview satellite ( Due mid 07) or DTT (Either late 07/early08) for NZ. Using a Digital tuner will allow you access to all the EPG goodies that come with it, there is talk about HD coming with Digital TV fairly soon after its launch ( Although I am not sure if it is to be on DTT or Freeview Satellite or both. - a guest Wed, 07 Mar 2007 12:24:50 +0100 http://www.nzmac.com/reviews/hardware/miglia-tvmax.html#comment-103 Hi can this run straight to a monitor without a Mac ? - a guest Wed, 07 Mar 2007 09:55:01 +0100 http://www.nzmac.com/reviews/hardware/miglia-tvmax.html#comment-102 On the hardware side the only thing that could be improved would be to add a Coax Out port so you could daisychain units like you can with a video recorder. As it is you will need a signal splitter but then you really really DO need a signal booster and high quality leads as well with minimal use of joiners or gender benders. One thing I need to clarify too. I didn't pick it up last night 'cos it was almost 12:00am. [quote]Sorry, but my lovely HD Recorder/DVD player can do this...recording one program whilst I watch a previous recording - Phil[/quote] What I was meaning with regards to recording and watching was more for live TV. Even a DVD/HDD recorder can't record TV and watch another channel at the same time. What Phil was getting at was that you can record a program but you can also watch a prerecorded show at the same time. In this regards EyeTV can also do this. - Darryn Lowe Tue, 06 Mar 2007 09:34:10 +0100
