Elgato has updated the rest of its USB TV tuner stick range, with a new version of the EyeTV Diversity available now and new breeds of the Hybrid and DTT to ship in August.
The slimmer and more feature-rich hardware introduces a matte aluminium finish, and each of the three products gain new features or functionality. The updated models are available in the Europe, Australia and New Zealand only. The US hardware has different components, so won't get these new models for the moment.
The 99.95 EyeTV Hybrid has had a major overhaul and now has a raft of new capabilities,. including 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.
The EyeTV Diversity consumes less power than before while retaining its 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. 79.95.
The new slimline EyeTV DTT can be used without blocking the other USB ports and still costs 39.95.
All the models ship with EyeTV 3.0. Prices quoted include VAT.
