Reviews

"While the EyeTV is a great gadget and I'm quite happy with it, its deficiencies don't take long to surface."¹

"For EyeTV to make any sense for you, you need to have either an abundant interest in broadcast TV, whether over the air or via a cable provider; or a set-top box from a cable or satellite service that doesn't include a built-in DVR."²

"Is EyeTV 3 worth buying or upgrading? For people who have never owned EyeTV software before, but want to watch television on their Intel Macs then the answer is a resounding 'Yes.'"³
