Using a Mac as a DV Recorder
Posted by Kent Pribbernow in "NEWS" @ 12:00 PM
A rather interesting piece in the Pioneer Press's Personal technology weblog (I didn't even know they had one 8O ) regarding using Macs as Digital Video recorders, mentions a small startup company, El Gato Systems, who's product aims to turn Macs into Media Center PC clones.
"El Gato Systems is trying to fill the gap with its EyeTV 200, an external device that offers TV-recording functions, and its EyeHome, which provides access to a Mac's multimedia content (EyeTV recordings along with other digital video, plus pictures and music) via a TV and home-entertainment system."
Sounds interesting, but I can't imagine how useful this would be, or reliable. :? If any of you out there plan to acquire this product, please share your experiences.
