Using the included IEC to MCX adapter, we rummaged around for our $10 special internal antenna, crossed our fingers and re-ran the channel search. When all else fails – go to the rabbit ears. After another ten minutes searching for channels, we again turned up nothin. Having had little success with the telescopic aerial, we connected the ever so slightly bulkier tilt/swivel aerial. About 10 minutes later, a total of zero channels were found.

We skipped the 3 months free IceTV subscription and hit the "Autotune" button (with exhaustive search ticked for good measure) and waited. After entering my location – Australia – up came a blue window with an ominous "No Channels" label.

When not in use, the DTT Deluxe’s opposite end has a neat translucent grey cover keeping the USB port protected.Īfter plugging the DTT Deluxe into a free USB port (and connecting the telescopic aerial), I inserted the included EyeTV software disc. The only real giveaway is the small golden coloured MCX aerial port located on its outer end. And with its stylish silver finish and neat grey labeling, a cursory glance would have many believe that is all it is. At 55x17x7mm the actual tuner is quite literally smaller than many USB flash memory sticks. While the package is quite small, the actual EyeTV DTT Deluxe is positively minescule. Accompanying all this was the usual quick start guide and light smattering of product cards. The package also contained an infrared remote control (with batteries), a small USB extension cable and a CD-ROM containing the EyeTV 3 software and product manuals. An IEC-MCX aerial adapter is also included which allows the DTT Deluxe to be connected to any standard coaxial aerial (internal or external via wall plug). The larger aerial comes complete with a small magnetic suction attachment which allows it to be stuck to windows or other similar surfaces. To start with, the EyeTV DTT Deluxe package contains two DVB-T aerials – a small telescopic aerial, as well as a larger tilt/swivel one.

And for the past month or so, we have had it connected to our unibody MacBook Pro for some portable free-to-air viewing.Īlong with the tiny USB stick that is the EyeTV DTT Deluxe, the Elgato package contains a bunch of accessories – Accessories that other manufacturers might consider to be optional extras.

In our testing, we couldn't get a signal using either of the supplied mini aerials, and while we don't doubt that you would receive TV in areas with a very strong signal, we had to plug it into a roof-mounted aerial before we could tune it in.The Elgato EyeTV DTT Deluxe is an impossibly small High Definition digital television tuner for the Apple Mac. And that would be fine, if the implication wasn't that you could use this without having to tether yourself to a ruddy great aerial. In essence, Elgato has taken everything that's great about the original EyeTV DTT, made it smaller, and slapped on a £20 premium. Recordings can be exported to iTunes, converted for portable devices such as the iPod, and passed to Roxio Toast (£70, to be burned onto DVD. If only Elgato could implement a Tivo-like recommendation engine too. With these, you can tell the system to record based on certain criteria: every programme that has 'Doctor Who' in the title except those on BBC Three, for example. You get a year's subscription to an online electronic programme guide that features programme details for roughly the next fortnight, and you can schedule recordings manually either from your Mac or by visiting the tvtv website on any computer or mobile phone.īest of all, though, is that you can schedule repeat recordings based on either the usual rules or by defining Smart Guides.
