The bloody laptop is. If you want affordable, get a netbook. It'll be infinitely easier to type on. This device fills a niche that doesn't exist. It fails, like the iPod Touch, to be either of the two products it's attempting to unite, the smartphone and the netbook/laptop. The iPad isn’t the solution to this niche. The bloody laptop is.

And I somewhat agree with you but I think they missed out on something...while it seems to fit the bill for education, so does the netbooks out there. Yes it does more (or can do more in a sense - out of the box) but not much more. I think if they had the option of having a bluetooth phone part associated with the device it would have been something HUGE. This to me is just a glorified iTouch, no? Anyhow - from what you said that you'll be surrounded by many of these, no doubt but that doesn't make it the best option, just alot of people that fall in love with the idea of it being an Apple device. :o) Don't get me wrong, I own both PC's and Mac's and they all serve a purpose (just like this will but not for me).

To be honest I have mine set to auto convert so all playback either happens through the EyeTV iPhone app or iTunes.

You can watch a previously recorded programme though. Systems like sky+ have dual tuners - Elgato do offer a dual tuner system though but personally I stick with the single input versions.

When recording, it asks me to stop recording. Anyone got any idea how to get around this limitation ? Can you also record more than one show at a time?

That said I haven't captured hours worth of footage at a time but it worked perfectly every time I used it. I have used the device numerous times and I haven’t seen any lag at any point.

Well if MPEG4 is only good for 10 min at a time, then what about certain devices that use MPEG1 or certain levels of MPEG2??? Would the audio and video still be out of sync then? Maybe a longer period of time? Thanks. Thanks a lot.
