Hey I was wondering before I buy this... does the elgato hybrid have video in? I s could basically use my mac as a TV screen?

i saw the s-video cable thing, but wasn't sure what u said about it

[surfer92118]

yeah the s-video cable thing, also has a composite on it, yes it can be used to put video in, but if you do you can't run the tivo feature as well, because that would cause it to lag and be hard to use for video game control

Hey,

How many Channels can i get if i use a antenna?

[TheDigitalMac]

And what Brand of Antenna do you have?

[surfer92118]

I couldn't tell you how many channels you can get, it depends on your area, i am sure you can search for your area's tv stations and you can recieve them all, as for the antenna i use i believe an old general electric brand antenna not a digital or someting fancy, you can use a coat hanger depending on you range from the tv station, and on the eyetv you can receive full digital so no need for a converter box

@surfer92118 question about this. i tried watching tv and it seems the quality is blurry. i have the new eyetv hybrid. is it suppose to be that. or it could my cable problem or is it elgato eyetv problem

[surfer92118]

I am not sure by what you mean blurry... if its pixalated then you can fix that by going to your display settings, view settings, etc. If that only happens when you record then you would want to change you recording preference. and if it is not either of those then it could be your cable connection, try getting a new cable wire if that is the problem.

Hope that could help you

i have the 250 plus.. im recording xbox 360.. i was thinking can i record in 720P ?

[surfer92118]

well to record in 720P you would need a powerful machine I believe, also one of the newest tuners available... that said I still don't think it would come out like you would predict, most recordings would come out much like my other video (Jack in the Box Mini Sirloin) on HQ or HD on Youtube

[coolshade4]

fanboy 720? what happened to 1080? just coz nsl records on 720 u gota lmfao and u think 1080 is so much more better + ur bad at cod4 why do u make montages? coz other people do... why u get a cap card? its a waste

[arjun474]

cuz apparently 1080 lags.... ur own words..... LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL im not a fanboy i only watch montages cuz u show them 2 me..... 1080 is soo much more better anyway.... i played on 720 its crap quality 1080 is clear n amazing.. WHY DONT U PLAY ON 1080 THEN? because nsl plays on it? XD and u say u dont record why just play on 1080P den... all waht u said is hypocrytical SOOOOOO badly.... ROFL and i like ur excuse "i was testing my internet" b4 it said u were playing at 2 in morning .. -.-

[coolshade4]

[apersaud]

What machine did you use? Also, can you talk about the CPU usage using the Hybrid?

[surfer92118]

In my video I used the original macbook (old version), so it is not really mean to do video at all excluding dvd, so I won't really be able to give you a fare comparison on the CPU, but for mine it does get used a lot, but on my computer to watch youtube I get the same effect on the CPU as my Eyetv.
