The Tube software is a direct ripoff of EyeTV Lite Miglia left owing big $$$ to a lot of folks.Īgain, ElGato makes no hardware, they make only software, they revise nothing. But it's a tough challenge to catch-up let along keep-up with ElGato. It has interesting, innovative features, and a clean interface that isn't getting nearly as deep and complex to navigate as EyeTV has gotten.

TheTube is getting steady updates and supporting more TV hardware with each release. and overseas is bundling Equinux's software after their fallout with ElGato. Miglia seems to have abandoned the US market. And a shift towards Digital ONLY tuners - perhaps in time for MacWorld Expo, hmmm? Oh and a $99 street price for the current Hybrid as it's demoted for legacy/Analog Cable stuck-in-the-muds? Predictions: I expect ElGato to revise the BIG 'N' BULKY EyeTV Hybrid soon - down to something more the size of Pinnacle Micro's new miniHD Mac dongle. (And not know what they're missing if they've never seen EyeTV.)įor too long the Mac market didn't have enough choice or competition: I think Equinux's entry into the Mac TV gizmo market is a GOOD THING - so that EyeTV ain't the ONLY game in town. And for some cross-platform or dual-OS users, a TubeStick might be a workable choice for both Mac and Win. I try to give THE TUBE software the benefit of the doubt at - TheTube has gotten A LOT better recently, especially with the v2.9 release.
