My question is, is this barebones HD PVR going to bog our Macs down? Possibly, but only testing it will tell. I was a bit disappointed to see the lack of any video output, a second input, or network port and only analog input. An EyeTV app gives you the ability to stream live or recorded programs to your iPhone or iPad. Now with HD streaming via the H.264 format, you can get a resolution of 1920×1080 at 30 fps this sounds good, but I would be concerned with any encoding artifacts and lag (both on the desktop and streamed device). Of course, standard features like just plain old recording for later viewing, pause, and rewinding, the EyeTV goes ahead to even let you edit your programming. Elgato’s latest device is the EyeTV HD PVR, a small $200 silver box that taps into the component feed of your digital cable box or satellite TV, giving you the ability to record and stream live TV to your iPhone or iPad.
