Elgato eyeTV hybrid

You cannot connect an EyeTV or any other tuner directly to the Apple TV, at least not without hacking the Apple TV's software. You would have to connect the EyeTV to a computer, save the broadcasts, and get them into iTunes. Then you could sync or stream them to the Apple TV.

you can't hook it up to the appleTV directly.

i use the MigliaTV DVR, it's hooked up to your computer.. and you just set up your schedule to record your programs in an appleTV compatible format (i'd be surprised if they didn't have an appleTV preset) and then transfer the recordings to iTunes.. i think EyeTV might even automate this for you... then when you turn on appleTV the programs should be waiting there for you depending on sync setting and/or if you stream they should be available.

The Elgato Hybrid is a great over the air digital/analogue tuner.

It runs on a Mac not an AppleTV.

You schedule recordings, and can if you want, set it to convert them to an AppleTV format and import them to iTunes automatically for viewing on an AppleTV/iPod etc.

probably to me more accurate it's Elgato's software that's great, they undoubtedly souce their hardware from other suppliers.

I have Apple TV and Eye TV hybrid. The Eye TV hooks up to your computer and cable jack (from the wall). It does not hook up the Apple TV at all. You have the option of exporting the Eye TV recordings to Apple TV (iTunes) and the next time you sync or stream your iTunes updates to the Apple TV your recordings will be there. If you receive HD channels from the wall without a cable box (the big 3 networks and usually a few locals), it will record and playback in HD. Otherwise, it records in analog. But, either way, you can stream both to the Apple TV and it will work.

Hope that helps.
