  • So you are thinking they will all switch to Tiger? I don't think so. I just felt a little funny that why the next big thing from Apple and Sun are both codename Tiger.
  • Perhaps. There must be a reason why I do have so many devices to play with, right? I think it is probably for me to stop now. Quote: Originally posted by Programmer Yeah, I don't know what Apple or anyone else is doing in this area and I know…
  • Hi programmer, I can definitely understand your stand. That you view EyeTV + EyeHome as a Tivo combination. Unfortunately, right now, EyeTV is the PVR, but EyeHome is not. EyeHome design is primary to play back the media from the Mac, it is not d…
  • Unlike EyeHome, it does not have PVR function, but it has wifi capability built right in. Just remember EyeHome is 2 things in mind: 1) it is a media player, to stream iTunes/iPhoto/Video from Mac to TV, 2) it also works with EyeTV, if you have o…
  • Hi, you can get Neuston information from http://www.neuston.com, where they have a Mac version. But I can you straight it is a player, not a recorder. I think EyeHome integration is not easily done. If it is a straight recording maybe possible, b…
  • Hi programmer, isn't this is what EyeHome or Neuston MC-500 is all about? Whether it is cheap or not, just depends on how many these items sold. Ya, I do have those units at my house. They did interface with TV/AV, did use wireless (mc-500, eyehome …
  • Then you actually prefer to copy your media files all around, so you can switch your Mac off? The cool thing about those devices are that the media files are already there. Like EyeTV recorded shows are already there, the CD-ripped songs are alre…
  • Since you know about DLink product, sure you should know about Mac compatible Elgato EyeHome (www.elgato.com) or Neuston MC-500 (www.neuston.com)? Quote: Here we go: D-Link DSM-320. This is the kind of product I think Apple needs. Third part…
  • For many, this is where the fun is. In front of TV, you should be sitting in sofa, using a remote, use it LIKE a TV. Quote: Originally posted by Sport73 The only limitation is that it's still a traditional computer, and not designed to be remo…
  • OK you win. But my TV is not next to my Mac, all are stream via WIFI. And yes, I can access it via remote control. And yes, the UI is designed to work nice on TV - I can just press 1, 2, 3 on remote control and do all the things, on my Sof…
  • Perhaps, perhaps even Sony Connect too. And Apple might be a little stupid again not letting others do it (even technically possible). But you also seems to forget that a media centre can also be used for a lot of non-DRM stuff - I am using it ev…
  • This is definitely unfortunate. It is already there implemented and working, and it works really well. How can your simple PowerBook to iMac solution be better than streaming high resolution MPEG2/MPEG4 videos to a large Plasma display, or liste…
  • Hi, I have both the USB EyeTV and the EyeTV 200, and using them everyday. I also heard a zillion people complains about different Mac OS upgrade, which I also have none. (Yes, I am one of those who will upgrade every 0.0.1 OS X release and still…
  • Actually, I am referring to EyeHome and MC-500 (www.neuston.com) since the original author mentioned this: -- I'm able to remotely control the track etc., which is great. There is, however, one thing missing. I'd like a full-screen "media center…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Whisper Oh, I thought we were talking about the EyeTV. I am sorry, I also have an EyeTV 200, I am using it everyday, the 1.3.5 version is pretty good, what issue are you encountering? I did encounter some issues wi…
  • If you read the FAQ, protected AAC is not listed as supported. It is later add on (after a lot of hardwork!) and intended to be done as a surprise - but something happened (not technical), and it is again pulled. You really cannot blame Elgato fo…
  • Hi, I am running EyeHome now with iTunes 4.5 and QuickTime 6.5.1 now, except for non-support for the new Apple Loseless format, everything works perfectly. For protected AAC support, I know the reason why it is pulled, but I don't want to offe…
  • As a happy EyeHome owner, can you explain a little more? They recently did a change in software/firmware that will play AAC in software (if you only upgrade the software w/o the firmware it wont work), but the recent build they change it back to fir…
  • I don't understand why people keep asking for Apple solution, where Mac-friendly solution like EyeHome (www.elgato.com) and MC-500 (www.neuston.com) are out there? Why does Apple has to involved in everything?
  • There are also other alternarives (with Mac support) like Neuston Media Centre, check out www.neuston.com. For EyeHome, I have one unit here too. 1) it plays MPEG1, MPEG2, MPEG4, various AVI format, and works with Divx4 and Divx5. MOV itself i…
