Computer TV Tuner Sticks For Mac vs Windows
03/02/09 15:14 Filed in: TV Tuner Hardware
The Windows marketplace has long enjoyed a wide selection of TV tuner hardware. Not so in the Apple Macintosh television tuner scene - at least until recently. For many years, ElGato's EyeTV tuners
really were the only game in town, and ElGato Hybrid tuners are still a favorite choice. And ElGato continues to grow it's suppport for many 3rd party tuner devices on the OSX platform. Equinux - suppliers of the TubeStick Hybrid Tuner for both Mac and PC
are now competing with EyeTV with their TubeStick tuner and DVR software 'THE TUBE' - and their list of supported 3rd party tuners is growing as well. For cross-platform users, select models of tuner sticks - most notably from Hauppauge and Pinnacle come in bundles with BOTH Windows Media Center Drivers, PC TV software - AND a bundled version of EyeTV LITE for Macintosh OSX users. The best of both worlds.
