Elgato Hardware Refresh

July 15, 2008

Elgato announces the next generation of   its TV stick product line. The new models of EyeTV Hybrid, EyeTV Diversity and EyeTV DTT introduce a matte aluminium finish, and each of the three products gain new features or functionality.

These new TV sticks follow the EyeTV DTT Deluxe, which was recently added to the product range. 

EyeTV Hybrid
The EyeTV Hybrid has had a major overhaul and now has a raft of new capabilities, offering a unique mix of features. The Hybrid now includes FM radio, which can be recorded in the same way as TV. It supports both DVB-T and DVB-C. Plus analogue TV, and analogue input, which means it can be used to connect cable or satellite receivers, archive video from old analogue media, or record live from gaming consoles.

EyeTV Diversity 
The new EyeTV Diversity gets a stylish new enclosure, and it consumes less power than before, making it better for mobile use. It still has dual digital tuners, which use Antenna Diversity technology to make the best of poor signal strength by combining two signals. If you have a rooftop antenna, the new splitter cable feeds the signal into each of the two tuners, which means you can watch and record two live TV shows simultaneously. It also ships with two smaller tilt/swivel antennas.

EyeTV DTT
The new slimline EyeTV DTT can be used without blocking the other USB ports. Despite its new diminutive size, it sports a full size antenna socket, so there’s no need for an additional adaptor. The new version remains at the low, entry level price of just £39.95 including VAT. 

The EyeTV DTT and all other models ship with the multiple award winning EyeTV 3 software.
